BUSINESS OPERATIONS Naming Facilities The naming of District facilities is a deliberate and intentional process. It is the practice of the District to name elementary schools after Presidents of the United States, intermediate schools after former superintendents, and high schools based upon geographical direction. On rare occasions, the Board may choose to bestow the honor of naming a facility, or some part thereof, in recognition of a person who has made a significant contribution to student learning and the mission of the District. Should a person or persons wish to nominate an individual for consideration of this honor, a formal request should be filed with the Superintendent’s office. This request must include specific, quantifiable information as to how the individual has enhanced student learning and the mission of the District. The request will be evaluated by the Superintendent or the Superintendent’s designee. If deemed appropriate and the criteria is met, the request will be brought before the Board for consideration. The application process is to be outlined in administrative regulations and shared with the board. Name Signs on School Buildings The District shall provide a suitable identifying sign at each new school, and the sign shall contain the full name of the school. Each new school and/or major renovation and/or addition should include a plaque listing dates of building and names of appropriate officials involved in construction. Any existing structure not having such a plaque shall have an appropriate plaque provided.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS Energy Use The District is environmentally conscious and accepts responsibility for developing and enforcing programs and procedures which conserve energy and other natural resources. Optimizing existing funding sources through effective energy use is a priority. The District will comply with all federal state and local statues regarding energy utilization. The Operations Department will annually review the District’s energy use program.

BUSINESS OPERATIONS Reward for Information Regarding Vandalism It shall be the policy of the District to provide rewards for information regarding vandalism to school property. The following guidelines shall apply:
BUSINESS OPERATIONS Unauthorized Persons in Buildings All citizens are encouraged to visit our school buildings and to observe the many outstanding activities that are part of the school day. However, any person desiring to visit a school shall report to the principal's office for a visitor's pass and is required to wear that pass during the time spent in the building in order to be readily identified by school staff. Unauthorized persons are prohibited from entering or loitering in school buildings or on school property and are subject to arrest.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS Conflicts of Interest District employees shall not sell, in any one occurrence, any goods or services having a value in excess of $500 to any state agency unless the sale is made pursuant to an award or contract let after public notice and competitive bidding. However, "services" does not include instruction at an accredited educational institution if the person providing the instruction meets the minimum education and licensing requirements established for teachers at the education institution. Members of the Board shall not have an interest, direct or indirect, in a contract for the purchase of goods, including materials and profits, and the performance of services for the District. This prohibition does not apply to contracts which benefit a Director, if the benefit to the Director does not exceed $2,500 in a fiscal year, and contracts made by the Board, upon competitive bid in writing, are publicly invited and open. Board members and teachers may not act as agents or dealers for school textbooks or for school supplies during the term of office or employment. Members of the Board who have, or may have, an interest in any contract to furnish supplies, materials, or labor to the District shall disclose such interest. Board members shall not receive compensation directly from the Board with the exception of legitimate expenses for performing official duties as allowed by Iowa Code § 279.32. The appointment of any other relative within the third degree of a Board member shall be made only by action of the Board. This does not apply, however, to public school teachers, but it does apply to other District employees.
