7250 - COMMEMORATION OF SCHOOL FACILITIES
The Board of Trustees has established criteria and procedures to be used when considering naming any part of a school facility to honor a retired or deceased educator.
All of the following must be met before the Board will consider the nomination:
A nominee must have been an employee for the Corporation for a minimum of twenty (20) years.
A nominee must have been retired for a minimum of five (5) years or deceased for a minimum of one (1) year. If a nominee is deceased, the honor must have family approval. The approval from the family must be in writing and submitted with the nomination.
The nomination must be submitted by petition to the building principal and signed by a minimum of 200 adults that reside in Floyd County. All costs and upkeep associated with the requested honor will be borne by the group submitting the proposal.
The principal will form a committee made up of a certified teacher, a non-certified employee, the Director of Facilities, and the curriculum directors to review the nomination.
The committee will make a recommendation to the Superintendent to honor the nominee if s/he meets the following criteria:
The nominee has made a significant and lasting impact to the Corporation.
The nominee's contributions to the Corporation set them apart from their peers.
The committee will inform the Board, Superintendent, and the petitioners if they believe the criteria has not been met.
The Superintendent will make a recommendation to the Board after reviewing the committee's recommendation to honor the nominee.
The Board will consider the recommendation of the Superintendent and accept, reject, or modify the recommendation. Administration will notify the petitioners after a decision has been reached.
The Board can accept, reject, or modify a recommendation from administration to remove a name or rename any part of a school facility that was previously named to honor an educator.
