Filming Requests
Please Note – All News Media and On-Campus Filming Requests shall be directed to and must be approved by the Director of Communications, Christine Paik (858) 521-2707 or cpaik@powayusd.com
*ANY FILMING OR MEDIA PRESENCE IS SECONDARY TO, AND MUST NOT DISRUPT, ANY SCHOOL INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM.* PUSD reserves the right to refuse any requests that are deemed too disruptive or not supportive of PUSD's mission.
News Media: We will do our best to accommodate media requests and to meet reporters' deadlines. Please review our media relations (BP 1112) and visitor policies (BP 1250).
On Location Filming Requests: PUSD is pleased to make school facilities available for rental when they are not being used for school programs and activities. Our campuses can be viewed through our facilitron page here. After identifying potential locations, filmmakers should then contact the Director of Communications to determine the feasibility of a shoot of that nature, need and costs for any assigned staff to monitor film-related activity, and any impact to students, staff, parking, instruction, and the surrounding community. Once you receive approval from the Director of Communications, you must complete the following steps at least 7 days before the first day of your shoot:
FACILITY RESERVATION (all facilities use fees apply)
INSURANCE VERIFICATION
LOCATION RELEASE FORM (fill out and email to cpaik@powayusd.com)
Check out the latest issue of our #TeamPUSD monthly newsletter for a compilation of the good work of our staff and students.
