NAMING OF FACILITIES
The Board shall have the authority to name facilities in the school system, as it deems appropriate. The Board may desire to recognize the outstanding contributions an individual, either living or deceased, has made to the Auburn City Schools by naming a facility in honor or memory of the person. However, in no instance shall a facility be named in honor of an individual while he/she is serving as a member of the Board or while he/she is an employee of the Board.
When a school facility, building, or special area therein is named, the Superintendent will appoint a committee to recommend to the Board a name for the facility. The committee will include an assistant superintendent as chair, a principal, two teachers and three members from the community. Citizens, members of the board, school personnel and students may submit names for consideration by the committee.
In selecting a name, special consideration will be given to those names that will have special meaning to students and citizens and will enhance the educational and professional aspirations and goals of the programs, personnel and students of the facility.
The following will be used as guidelines in the selection of names of school facilities:
· Street on which the facility is located
· Community in which the facility is located
· Memorial
· Recognition
· Such other designation as may be appropriate
