RE: |
Approval for Naming of New Reedy Fork Area Elementary School
|
|
As reported at the May 24, 2007 board meeting, pursuant to our procedure on the naming of schools (FDCA-P), the project team working on the new Reedy Fork Area Elementary School put out a recommendation for naming the school Reedy Fork Elementary School.
After reviewing the materials and hearing from members of the public, the board voted to propose the name Ronald McNair Elementary School at Reedy Fork.
In keeping with the procedure, the board proposed name was posted on the district website for a period of public comment and feedback. Sixty-eight additional public comments from the community on the name have been received. The comments can be summarized as follows:
- 62 in favor of Reedy Fork Elementary School
- Four in favor of Ronald McNair Elementary School at Reedy Fork
- Two comments related to the opinion that a school should be named according to the location and community
Upon final approval of a name, staff will move forward with appropriate efforts regarding signage, etc.
