The Hays Consolidated Independent School District School Naming Committee is asking district residents, taxpayers, or service providers to submit possible names between now and noon Nov. 29 for the district’s 15th elementary school, scheduled to open next August in Buda’s Sunfield subdivision. Nominations can be submitted by clicking here.
“New schools in Hays CISD can be named for historical or geographical sites or communities; subdivisions; significant local, state, or national figures (living or deceased); people who have made significant contributions to education in the district (living or deceased); local, state, or national historical events or places; or people who have donated land or money for the property or facility,” the district said in a statement released today.
Sometime after the nomination process closes on the 29th, “the naming committee will meet to begin narrowing name options,” according to today’s announcement from the district. “The committee could suggest a name, or slate of possible names, to the board of trustees as early as December. The board could then choose a final name for the school in January 2022.”
The district added the following criteria for submitting nominations:
- Nominations must be in good taste, and not generally considered offensive, silly, or embarrassing.
- If the nominated name is an historical or geographic site, the name submitted must be accompanied by a written summary and/or a description of the significance of the name.
- If the nominated name is an individual, the name submitted must be accompanied by a written rationale and/or description of the named person's accomplishments.
- The nominee shall be widely respected, regardless of any partisan affiliation.
- The nominee shall be a person of character who embodies a wholesome image that would be expected to stand the test of time.
- The nominee shall have a background of service to people of the district, Texas, or the United States.
