Public School US Flag Display

As a State institution the school district should respect the flag of the United States.

The students of [a district] Elementary showed respect for their flag every day as they hoisted and lowered it every day.

The flag at [a district] middle school is left up all night without proper lighting. It is small. In the past I have seen it tattered. The flag at the District office is flown in the dark without being properly lighted.

The proper display and care of the flag by a school makes a positive impression on the community. It at least shows the community a openly disciplined activity and some respect for property.

See: Flag Code

I am sure the District would show respect for the flag if it wasn't such a financial burden. I do believe the community would donate larger flags and even the lighting for the base of the poles, if asked.
