SCHOOL NAMES

It is the responsibility of the Petersburg School Board to determine the name of schools and school facilities in the division.  The Board will solicit and accept input from the public regarding the names of schools and school facilities but reserves the right to make the final decision regarding the name of any school or school facility.  Suggestions regarding the name of a school or school facility must be in writing, must state the name of the person or group making the suggestion and must state the reasons supporting the suggestion. The School Board may create a committee to make recommendations to the Board on the naming of any school or school facility.

No school or school facility will be named for a living individual.  Schools and school facilities may be named for individuals who have been deceased for at least 10 years.

The Board may rename a school or school facility upon a determination that it is appropriate to do so. The procedure for renaming a school or school facility will be the same as the procedure outlined above.
