School district facility shall refer to any building, space within a building, field, playground, or other property owned by the District.

Policy

1. A contribution which is extraordinary and unique and which serves as an exemplar to those within the School District.

2. A contribution which is recognized by students, parents and staff as having an extraordinarily positive influence on the lives of students.

3. A contribution which has created and supported positive links between the schools and the community.

4. A contribution which has taken place over a significant period of time.

The Board reserves the right to consider dedication of School District facilities in the event of special circumstances not presently defined by this policy.
