Associated Regulation: FF-R - Naming of New Facilities
NAMING OF FACILITIES
The Board of Education believes the naming of a facility is a matter of great importance. Naming of a facility could include the (1) naming of a new building or a newly created school, (2) naming an area of a building, (3) renaming a school, (4) naming a facility or an area of a facility.
Schools will be named for physical locations; geographical areas; distinguished local, state, and national leaders whose names will lend dignity and stature to the school; or significant or pertinent events.
Schools periodically desire to name an area of their facility after a person who has made a significant contribution to their school. This policy applies to contributions other than financial sponsorships that should be addressed consistently with the Board and District’s sponsorship policy and practices. Areas may include an auditorium, gymnasium, library, athletic field or other major areas of a school.
The renaming of a school shall be considered only when district restructuring creates a new school or in other extraordinary circumstances deemed by the Board of Education. When naming of a facility is to be considered, the Superintendent or designee will lead a process that includes staff, student, and community input and results in a recommendation or recommendations to the Board. The Board will take action in a public meeting.
