Filming Requests

Please Note:

All News Media and On-Campus Filming Requests shall be directed to and must be approved by the Communications Department, Alea Boult - [email protected].

Any filming or media presence is secondary to, and must not disrupt, any school instructional program. Poway Unified School District (PUSD) reserves the right to deny requests that may disrupt school operations or do not support PUSD’s mission.

News Media

We do our best to accommodate media requests and support reporters' deadlines. Please review our policies below:

On‑Location Filming Requests

PUSD makes school facilities available for rental when they are not in use for school programs or activities. You may explore available campuses on our Facilitron page.

After identifying possible locations, please contact the Communications Office to discuss the feasibility of your project, including:

  • Scope and nature of the shoot
  • Required staff to monitor film‑related activity
  • Potential impact on students, staff, instruction, parking, and the surrounding community

Once you receive approval from the Chief Communications Officer, you must complete the following steps at least 7 days before your first filming date:

  1. Facility Reservation (facility use fees apply)
  2. Insurance Verification
  3. Location Release Form — complete and email to [email protected]
