Directors of a school district in Pennsylvania announced that an application was approved for "the Satanic Temple to use our facility as we were required to do so by Board police No. 707."

A statement goes on to say an event will be held on September 24 at the Northern York County School District. The policy also requires that the school pay for rental, custodial, security and auditorium tech fees.

"As a public school district, the use of our school facilities must be permitted without discrimination. We cannot and do not arbitrarily pick and choose which organization may or may not use our facilities. If we allow one organization, we must allow all organizations, provided they satisfy the conditions and application requirements as set forth in Policy 707," the statement read in part.

The school district ended their statement saying they do not endorse activities of any outside organizations renting their facilities. They also said that organizations are not permitted to use the name or logo of the school district.
