SC 701, 704
When planning to enlarge or modify its facilities, the Board shall consider not only
the number of students whose educational needs must be met, but also the physical
requirements of the programs it deems best suited to meet those needs.
42 U.S.C.
Sec. 12101 et seq
Each school building and site shall provide suitable accommodations to carry out the
educational program, including provision for the handicapped/disabled, pursuant to
law and regulations.
Naming Facilities
Insofar as possible, the Board will name a new or consolidated facility after the
name of the geographic section in which it is located or the area(s) it serves. If the
facility is not to be named after its location or service area, the Board will designate
a representative committee of interested parties to develop and submit three (3)
recommendations in order of preference for naming the facility. The committee will
observe the following guidelines:
1.
The name should be easily identifiable with the facility.
2.
The name should not be in conflict with the names of other facilities in the
district, surrounding counties, or in the state.
3.
If possible, the name should be selected on a geographical basis, but most
important, it should have significance for the persons who will use the facility.
4.
The names of people, particularly living people, should be avoided.
The Board will cease, hereinafter, from naming or renaming currently established
facilities or parts thereof except in cases of consolidation or redeployment of use.
