Policy


Existing school facilities and parts of facilities will not normally be re-named.

Guiding Principles
  
The following are guiding principles for persons wishing to propose the re-naming of district facilities and parts of facilities:
  1. There must be proof of overwhelming support from the community for the re-naming of a facility or part of a facility
  2. The Guiding Principles under Policy 807: Naming of Facilities and Parts of Facilities have been considered
  3. The Board of Education reserves the right to change or remove a name in the event of exceptional circumstances [See Policy 808: Re-Naming of Facilities and Parts of Facilities – Administrative Procedures].
