District Adopts New Policy for Renaming School Facilities
The board is taking a final vote on a revised policy governing the naming and renaming of school facilities. The policy establishes a multi-step process requiring a ‘demonstrated and compelling rationale,’ a campus committee vote, a community survey, and a public meeting, creating a formal pathway for renaming campaigns based on ‘documented community concern or harm.’
Policy Use
DOCUMENT AND TRACK: Item 9.02 is a final vote on the district’s school renaming policy. Capture the final adopted text of CW (LOCAL) and add Dallas ISD to the state tracker for districts with formal renaming processes, as this creates a predictable vector for ideological campaigns.
