Naming School District Facilities

Naming of school district facilities is the responsibility of the Board of Education and shall be by majority vote of the entire Board. A District facility may be named when it has a specific purpose. A facilities naming committee may be appointed by the Board President. A nomination, in writing, which shall contain the rationale for such nomination, may be solicited from the public. Once a facility has been officially named, it shall not be renamed except for compelling reasons to be determined by the Board.

Criteria that may be considered when naming school facilities are:

1)      A facility may be named after a geographic location and/or a section of the District    it serves.

2)      If a facility is to be named after a person, that person shall be of exemplary moral character; have made an outstanding contribution to education, humanity or community or have displayed outstanding leadership or be a person of historical significance.

3)      Facilities may also be named after major contributors to the school district without whom new facilities would not have been possible.

Parts of facilities may be named after individuals using the same criteria or recognition of individuals and may be marked on an appropriate plaque commemorating that individual's contribution.
