Facilities master plan updated; board discusses draft naming-rights policy
Summary
The facilities committee received an updated iteration of the district master plan and discussed a draft naming-rights policy (policy 702.1) intended to guide honorary and revenue-based naming of facilities and fields.
District staff presented an updated facilities master plan (iteration 4) and described a draft naming-rights policy that was referred to the facilities committee earlier for discussion.
The update moves the master plan tracking into a spreadsheet format that lists each capital project, timeline, and projected cost and includes a consolidated list of capital investments the board has approved since 2021. Staff thanked district leaders who helped update the document and said the spreadsheet and supporting documents are available on BoardDocs.
On naming policy 702.1, the district recalled prior board discussion about creating formal guidance for naming rooms, fields, or facilities and how to treat sponsorship or revenue-based naming. The draft policy is intended to provide clear, transparent criteria differentiating honorary namings from paid sponsorships and to ensure revenue neutrality for honoring individuals when appropriate. In the meeting, staff cited Perky Field as an example where a family donation funded signage and facility upgrades.
A committee member said the policy should ensure that honorary namings do not impose district costs, and staff agreed the policy would make the district’s expectations clear. The draft policy remains at the discussion stage and has not had a first reading.
Why it matters: an explicit naming-rights policy would set consistent expectations for donors, the administration, and the board and could affect how future capital investments are funded or recognized.
Next steps: staff will place the draft policy and the updated facilities master plan in the committee tracker for further review and return with a refined draft at a future meeting.
