Having a company PAY for naming rights to local public schools? Blech! No, so not cool. You can name schools after people, not companies.
The Ann Arbor school board MAY approve a draft naming rights policy wherein a company COULD pay a lot of money and get a building or classroom named after themselves. From the meeting:
"The draft suggests that in order to have a facility named after a corporation or person who gave the district a lot of money, the gift should be at least 25 percent of any planned alterations to the building or the total cost of new construction."
YCD says the hell with that. You may one day want to call it the Google Ann Arbor Intermediate school whereas YCD may just call it the "Bend over for China's human rights violations school".
And nobody wants that...

Nothing like going to see the Christmas (excuse me, Holiday) play at Pioneer High's, Pioneer Electronics® Auditorium. Or maybe watching the 7th grade basketball team at Tappan Middle School's Tappan Appliances® gymnasium.
Right on hotlunch. Tappan Appliances--good one!
Well remembered
