7250 - 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. The Board President may appoint a facility naming committee. A nomination, in writing, which shall contain the rationale for such nomination, may be solicited from the public. Once a facility has been officially name, 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:
| A. | A facility may be named after a geographic location and/or section of the District it serves. | |
| B. | If a facility is to be named after a person, that person shall be of exemplary character; have made an outstanding contribution to education, humanity, or community, or have displayed outstanding leadership or be a person of historical significance. | |
| C. | Facilities may also be named after major contributors to the School District without whom new facilities would not have been possible. |
The School District may consider naming facilities after a living employee or School Board member only if they have been retired for at least two (2) years. The School District may consider naming facilities after a deceased School Board member, student, or current or former employee only if they have been deceased for at least two (2) years.
Parts of facilities may be named after individuals using the same criteria for recognition of individuals and may be marked on an appropriate plaque commemorating that individual’s contribution.
