SUBJECT:     FLAG DISPLAY

 

The Board of Education believes that the flag of the United States is a symbol of the values of our nation, the ideals embedded in our Constitution, and the spirit that should animate our District.

 

The District shall provide a United States flag, flag staff, and the necessary appliances for its display upon or near every school building. There shall be a flag on display in every assembly room of every school.

 

The flag shall be flown at full or half-staff pursuant to law. In addition, the flag shall be flown at half-staff to commemorate the death of a current board member, employee, or student pursuant to procedures developed by the Superintendent of Schools.

 

Consistent with national and state law and regulations and this policy, the Superintendent of Schools shall develop procedures for the proper custody, care, and display of the flag.
