Naming of School Facilities

The major focus of school property should be toward the achievements of the students. It is the responsibility of the Board to preserve the properties of the Winter School District as significant and relevant to future students as well as the current population of students. To meet this responsibility, it shall be the policy of the Board to allow a new or existing facility to be named after an individual has been deceased for one (1) year.

The family of the deceased must be in agreement with the request.

The Board of Education assumes the responsibility for naming facilities in the Winter School District. Having a facility or part of a facility named after an individual should require extraordinary contribution and should be a rare occurrence. The following criteria will be utilized when naming school facilities:

To honor people deceased, criteria shall include but not limited to:

 

A.

having exemplary moral character;

 
 

B.

being supported by the public;

 
 

C.

making outstanding contributions to the community, State, or nation being recognized by the community as a whole;

 
 

D.

making an outstanding contribution to the School District.

Naming requests may be made by individuals or groups and should be made in writing to the Board of Education. Each naming request will be considered on a case by case basis. A Board committee will consider requests, seek input from others, and make an appropriate recommendation to the full Board of Education for final approval.

Facilities such as hallways or individual rooms shall not be named.

A majority (2/3's) vote of the entire Board must agree to establish the name of a facility as requested.

The Board shall develop a plan for dedication of the facility.
