The District will purchase a United States flag, flag staff, and the necessary appliances for its display upon or near every school building. There will be a flag on display in every assembly room of every school.
The flag will be at full or half-staff pursuant to law. The flag must be flown at half-staff upon days designated by the President of the United States or the Governor of New York.
The Board delegates authority to the Superintendent to determine all other circumstances under which the flag will be flown at half-staff. Consistent with national and state law and regulations and this policy, the Superintendent will develop rules and regulations for the proper custody, care, and display of the flag.
