Summary

Board discussed naming the district's new pool the 'Oak Creek Aquatics Center' and solicited community input; trustees acknowledged donor naming opportunities and will place a formal naming action on the Sept. 22 agenda.

District staff proposed naming the new pool facility the Oak Creek Aquatics Center, which would encompass the community and competition pools. The presenter said the splash squad and cabinet recommended the name and asked the board for initial feedback.

Board members discussed whether donor naming rights should be considered as part of the formal naming process; one member said the board was open to changing a name if a living donor came forward to buy naming rights. A small number of parents had suggested the whimsical name "the moat" to play on the school mascot; a board member reported receiving five emails proposing that idea but the board chair said she was "not a fan".

Administration said the naming would be put on the Sept. 22 agenda as an action item for formal approval and that further discussion about donor agreements would be handled separately.
