- The individual must represent exemplary human qualities that can serve as a model of excellence for the students who will attend the school.
- Facilities may be named for local residential or geographic areas or state or national landmarks.
- A request for proposal (RFP) process may be used to provide naming rights to an athletic or special use facility.
- If named after a district employee, it must be two years after retirement or death.
- Facilities may be named after current or former Board members only to the extent that such individuals qualify for consideration under one of the previous listings.
