It is the policy of the Board of Education that when naming or renaming school buildings or facilities, the following guidelines be followed:

In choosing a name for a building the Board may consider historical figures of local or national prominence, district geography, former school staff members, former members of the Board of Education or a particular individual instrumental in the planning or construction of the facility.

In selecting a name the Board may solicit input from the staff, parents, students and the community as it reaches its decision. The Board will be guided by consideration of good taste, concerns for public relations and a sense of historical appropriateness.

The Board of Education may also provide and authorize the erection or installation of a plaque or memorial at the facility.
