The District shall purchase 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 at full or half-staff pursuant to law. In addition, the flag may be flown at half-staff to commemorate the death of a present or former board member, present or former employee or student. The Board delegates authority to the Superintendent to determine other circumstances under which the flag will be flown at half-staff. The flag must be flown at half-staff upon days designated by the President of the United States or the Governor of New York.

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