Board reviews Ten Commandments plaque design and asks for pricing and consistent district rollout
Summary
After approving placement policy earlier, the board reviewed a proposed acrylic design for Ten Commandments plaques and asked staff to return with cost estimates and options to ensure consistent installation across schools; donors offered to underwrite costs where possible.
The board discussed a proposed acrylic design for Ten Commandments plaques — part of an implementation path following a change in state law allowing school boards to display certain historical documents in a prominent school location.
Item sponsor (Mr. Sherwood) and Ms. Maxwell explained donors want to underwrite durable acrylic plaques for some schools; the law’s fiscal note lists zero cost because printed materials would meet minimum requirements. Board members urged consistent district-wide installation and asked staff to collect precise cost estimates before final design approval; donors said they would pursue fundraising targeted at middle and high schools first.
No final design vote occurred at the work session; the board suggested tabling a final decision until pricing and funding plans are available to avoid inconsistent fixtures across schools.
