What this document actually says
This policy, last revised September 13, 2022, establishes how Reed Union School District names schools and facilities. The Board may name buildings after individuals (living or deceased) who made outstanding contributions to the school community or broader society, financial donors, or based on geographic location. The process requires community input through a citizen advisory committee and a public hearing before adoption. The Board can also approve memorials like commemorative trees or monuments for deceased students, staff, or community members. Additionally, the district may grant naming rights to entities in exchange for benefits, but must prohibit names promoting drugs, alcohol, tobacco, discrimination, or violence. All naming agreements must be in writing and specify duration and responsibilities. The Board retains authority to terminate naming rights if grantees engage in prohibited or unlawful acts.
What this means for your family
This policy affects how your child's school or facilities are named, but doesn't directly impact educational programs or student rights. You can participate in naming decisions through public hearings and community advisory committees. If your family wishes to donate or memorialize a loved one through facility naming, this policy outlines that process. The district can accept donations in exchange for naming rights while maintaining standards for appropriate names.
