Between December 2017 and April 2019, the Haight Elementary School community engaged in a renaming process for their school.

After the Board approved the renaming at its April 23, 2019 public meeting, Board directed staff to update Board Policy (BP) and Administrative Regulation (AR) 7310 (Naming of a Facility) to facilitate naming non-school facilities after members of the community.

On May 6, 2019, staff presented the proposed update to the Board Policy Subcommittee. After incorporating the requested changes from that meeting, staff circulated the draft to the Haight Renaming Committee and to Haight staff.   

At the May 28 Board of Education meeting, staff presented the proposed update as well as recommendations from the Haight Renaming Committee, and the Board gave direction for further amending the BP.
