The use or possession of unmanned aircraft or aerial systems, including communications links that control the unmanned aircraft, (UAS) which includes drones, unmanned airborne devises or aircraft, model aircraft, and/or an aircraft being developed as a model aircraft, is prohibited for any purpose by any person or entity anywhere on or directly above property or premises owned, maintained or used by the District for any purpose.

An exception to this policy may be granted in writing by the Superintendent or Superintendent’s designee, in his or her sole discretion, to law enforcement, public safety agencies, media, District personnel or other entities or individuals. The superintendent may make an exception to this policy in specific cases where the circumstances warrant such exception. In such situations and prior to approval, unmanned aircraft operators shall:

• Supply proof of insurance meeting liability limits established by the district;
• Present appropriate registration and authorization issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA);
• Sign an agreement holding the district harmless from any claims of harm to individuals or damage to property; and
• Meet additional requirements as determined appropriate by the district.

This prohibition applies to the area above and upon all property or premises owned, maintained or used by the District for any purpose, including, but not limited to, building entrances and exits, spectator areas, fields of play, courts, arenas, stadiums, mats, gym floors, pools, practice facilities, parking areas, and facilities or properties being used by the District.

The District reserves the right to refuse entrance to property or premises owned, maintained or used by the District to anyone possessing, operating, or attempting to operate a UAS; to request the immediate removal of any person using or attempting to use a UAS in violation of this policy; and to take any appropriate action under the District’s policies and/or law against any person using or attempting to use a UAS in violation of this policy.
