There are two important changes to the West Linn-Wilsonville School District facility rental process that will take effect starting Nov. 1, 2024: updates to Category Breakdowns for rental groups and updates to the Fee Schedule.

Updates to Category Breakdown for rental groups

Starting on November 1, League rosters will be required for all Category 2 youth sports organizations. If a group has a minimum of 60% of in-district members on their League roster then they will qualify as Category 2. If they have fewer than 60% in-district members, then the group will qualify for a Category 3. All groups will need to submit league rosters annually to maintain C2 status. This process is in alignment with school districts and cities across the Portland-Metro area, and has been enacted to better prioritize field and facility space for local residents. We appreciate your cooperation as we live into this new requirement. You can review Category Prioritization Breakdown on the Community Services website. 

Updates to Fee Schedule

Starting November 1, an updated Fee Schedule will take effect. These increases were based on an evaluation of comparable fee schedules of neighboring school districts. As a reminder, the district will grant a 40% discount to all Category 2 groups for the 2024-25 fiscal year for gyms and artificial turf fields. The district will grant a 20% discount for all Category 2 groups for gyms and artificial turf fields during the 2025-26 fiscal year. Discounts ONLY apply to Category 2 groups. Starting in 2026-27, the fee schedule will take full effect and discounts will not be considered for community groups. 

We appreciate the feedback of our community groups and believe that these adjustments will allow time to plan for these needed increases to the fee schedule. As a reminder, these increases were based on an evaluation of comparable fee schedules of neighboring school districts. 

We look forward to continued service and benefit to our community through the use of our facilities. Thank you for your attention to this update. For questions, please contact the community services department at communityservices@wlwv.k12.or.us.
