802.6 - Vandalism/Naming School District Facilities or Portions of District Facilities

VANDALISM

The board believes everyone should treat school district buildings and sites and property with respect for the benefit of the education program.  Users of school district property will treat it with care.  Employees discovering vandalism should report it to the building principal as soon as possible.

Persons suspected, found or proven to have destroyed or otherwise harmed school district property may be subject to discipline by the school district, if the person is under the jurisdiction of the school district, and may be reported to local law enforcement officials.  Persons who are not under the jurisdiction of the school district and who are suspected, found or proven to have destroyed or otherwise harmed school district property will be reported to the local law enforcement authorities.

NAMING SCHOOL DISTRICT FACILITIES OR PORTIONS OF DISTRICT FACILITIES

 

The Board will consider request to name or rename a District facility or a portion of a District facility such as a media center, gymnasium, auditorium, or field.  Once named, a District facility shall not be renamed without the consent of the Board.

Any request will take into account the following criteria, if relevant:

  • Historical preservation.
  • District traditions.
  • The traditions and programs of the facility.
  • The intended purpose and function of the facility.
  • The geographical area in which the facility is located.
  • The long-range impact of any name change.
  • The contributions and moral character of the person or entity being considered.
  • The need for any naming or renaming to have board acceptance in a multi-cultural society.
  • Other factors as deemed relevant.

The Board may decide to appoint a committee to review requests to name or rename a facility or portions of a facility.  If a committee is appointed, upon the receipt of a recommendation from the committee, the Board may select a name for the facility or portions of a facility.

If the Board does not decide to appoint a committee to review request to name or rename a facility or portions of a facility, they will determine whether the request should be honored.

The Board retains the discretion to name or rename a District facility or portion of a facility.
