Summary:
|
To ensure our facility naming guidelines are current as we move forward with the new elementary school construction project, we are requesting a review of Policy 9300. The next policy committee meeting will include the first reading of this policy, offering a chance for in-depth analysis, discussion, and the incorporation of any necessary changes or feedback.
Policy 9300
The board considers naming facilities to be a significant endeavor since the name of a facility can reflect upon the students, staff, school system and community.
The superintendent shall involve the staff and students assigned to the facility and the students' parents in the process of identifying possible names for a new school facility or facility being renamed. The superintendent shall consider the following criteria as well as other factors the
superintendent determines to be relevant in identifying potential names for the facility.
1. The name should not be so similar to the names of existing facilities
as to cause confusion.
2. The name should include a designation of the type of school, such as
elementary, middle or high, or a brief description of a specialized
kind of school.
3. The name may be in honor or memory of an individual who has
helped students in this school system succeed through financial
contributions or educational leadership.
4. The name may be that of an educational leader of prominence and
reputation beyond the school system; however, priority will be given
to the names of educational leaders who have directly or indirectly
helped students in this school system to succeed.
5. The name may specify the geographic locality of the school.
The superintendent shall submit a recommended name or limited list of recommended names to the board for approval.
