RE:

Approval for Naming of the Park at Montlieu Math and Science Academy

As reported at the April 26, 2007 board meeting, Mr. Ed Price, on behalf of the citizens of High Point, has requested that the park at Montlieu Math and Science Academy be named in honor of a distinguished individual who has made outstanding contributions to the Guilford County School district, as well as the greater Guilford County community.

Pursuant to our procedure on the naming of schools (FDCA-P), a nomination form and accompanying support documents were provided by Mr. Price for review and consideration.

The name proposed is as follows:

The Garry G. Burnett Park at Montlieu

The recommended name was posted on the district website for a period of public comment and feedback. One comment was received in support of the proposed name minus the middle initial ‘G’.

RECOMMENDATION:  The administration recommends that the board study and support the name The Garry G. Burnett Park at Montlieu as originally proposed. If the name is approved, staff will contact the community representative to review the plans for any signage the community effort would provide.
