Board considers request to pursue private donation and name new field house after donor’s parents
Summary
A board member asked permission to seek a private donation to name the new field house after his parents; the board agreed to review the district naming policy and consider the request at a later meeting, with the donor to state a proposed amount privately.
During new-business discussion, a board member asked for the board’s permission to accept a private donation and name the new field house after his parents, proposing the designation “Thomas Field.” The member said he would follow board policy and discuss a proposed dollar amount privately with administration.
Board members asked to review the naming policy before deciding and agreed to take time to read the policy and return to the request at a future meeting. One board member suggested consulting the auxiliary gym committee on equipment needs and how private funds could be used for facilities or equipment.
No dollar amount or formal commitment was recorded in the meeting discussion; the request was framed as a proposal to be considered once the board reviews the naming-rights policy.
