Welcome to the Collier County Public Schools online lease application site!  Here you will find an overview of the lease program, instructions on completing the application process, and links to the various forms required.

The School Board encourages the use of District facilities and grounds for educational, civic, cultural, recreational, artistic, and charitable activities and programs to benefit the community.  To the extent practical, District facilities and grounds will be made available for public use when such use:

• Benefits the students of Collier County or the general public;
• Does not conflict with the District’s operations, programs, events or activities, and;
• Is consistent with the vision, beliefs, mission, goals, objectives, policies, and standards of the School Board.

The Board recognizes there may be costs associated with the use of district facilities.  Therefore, it is also the intent of the Board to ensure that it does not incur any expenditure of funds that would otherwise be applied to the achievement of its primary responsibility to provide for the education of district students.  Our hope is that your ability to access leases via the district website has made the process more convenient.  Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
