1. Naming School Facilities
1) No school building shall be named
after any person either living or deceased.
2) While areas within a school
facility or school grounds may be considered for naming after individuals,
historical events, geographical points, or other instances suitable for public
properties, the use of plaques, memorial gardens, benches and the like are
favored for this purpose. School
Committee approval is required prior to the naming of any school property or
the placement of plaques or construction of monuments or edifices on school
property.
3) Specific guidelines to be
followed in submitting nominations for naming of school properties:
a) No financial expense may be
incurred by the school department.
Evidence of financial support for the initiative must be presented in
the nominating letter.
b) Nominations may be submitted by
school based or community based groups.
c) Individuals so nominated must
have rendered exemplary and extraordinary service to the school department or
the community. Evidence of this extraordinary
service, donations, or other volunteer activities shall be presented to the
Superintendent as part of the nomination.
d) Based on the information
provided, the Superintendent will consider the request and, if appropriate, may
forward the nomination to the School Committee for consideration. In some instances, a District Advisory
Committee may be appointed if additional consideration is warranted.
e) If a District Advisory Committee has
been appointed, they shall report their findings to the School Committee within
sixty days of receipt of the nomination with a recommendation for action.
f) The final decision will be voted
on by the Narragansett School Committee.
School Committee approval is required prior to the naming of any school
property or the placement of plaques or construction of monuments or edifices
on school property.
