The Board of Directors believes that the names of district buildings and facilities should have special significance to the community, its traditions, and values.
The school buildings will be defined as Tipton Elementary (Grades K-5), Tipton Middle School (Grades 6-8) and Tipton High School (Grades 9-12). Facilities will be defined as "something that is built, installed, or established to serve a particular purpose".
When a request to name a school building or facility is made, the Superintendent will review the request and make a decision regarding recommendation to the Tipton Board of Education. Based upon the decision of the Board of Education, the board president will appoint a three-person committee of the board to submit one name to the board for the naming/renaming of school buildings and one name to the board for the naming/renaming of school facilities.
Upon receipt of a recommendation by the Board of Education, the Board of Education will make a decision based upon the information presented and the long-term interests of the school system.
