The Board of Education regularly receives requests to name school facilities in honor of specific individuals. The most recent is a request to re-name the football field at Rosman High School. The Board has discussed the issue of naming facilities several times in the past. At one time the Board had agreed by consensus to not begin naming facilities or parts of facilities and instead to refer requests of this type to a school committee, such as the RHS Alumni Hall of Fame. The Board has reviewed other district’s policies on naming facilities, but has not pursued a local policy.

The Board will revisit the issue of naming facilities. Copies of policies from other school districts and a sample policy from NCSBA are attached for your review.
