The following guidelines apply to the naming of an Austin ISD facility:

1. Facilities may be named for individuals, places such as landmarks or neighborhoods, or other reason as determined by the Board of Trustees.
2. The name must not already be used by another Austin district school or facility.
3. If named for an individual, the following shall apply:
   1. The individual may be living or dead.
   2. The individual must be recognized by the general public and widely respected.
   3. The individual must embody exemplary qualities that can serve as a model of excellence.
4. Nominators are encouraged to provide a succinct description of the nominees' contributions, why they are important, and any pertinent history that should be considered. While no fixed standard is imposed, supporting documents of no more than five pages should be sufficient.
5. Petitions will not be considered as criterion for consideration.
6. Board policy prohibits the selling of names for any district facility; however, donations may be considered.
