Board’s facilities‑naming policy moves toward 10‑year term with revocation language to be drafted
Summary
Staff proposed changes to the naming of facilities policy that would shift the term from 5 years to 10 years with one renewal and give the board explicit authority to reconsider or revoke names in adverse circumstances; staff will return revised language after committee work and a fall report on existing named spaces.
The board reviewed proposed edits to the district's facilities‑naming policy. Staff described changes that would make naming terms 10 years with one renewal instead of the prior approach and remove a categorical prohibition that had disallowed naming areas after living persons. The proposal retains superintendent discretion for honorary plaques.
Board members asked for a short, clear sentence enabling the board to reconsider a facility name if an adverse incident arises; staff and policy committee agreed to draft that revocation language and return the revised policy to committee before a business meeting. The superintendent’s office will prepare a list of currently named areas for a September or fall report to allow the board time to assess grandfathering and possible reconsideration. No final policy was adopted at the work session.
