RE: |
Approval for the Naming of Northern Area Elementary School
|
|
As reported at the June 12, 2007 Board Meeting, pursuant to our procedure on the naming of schools (FDCA-P), the project team working on the new Northern Area Elementary School made a recommendation for naming the school Northern Elementary School.
After reviewing the materials and hearing from members of the public, the board voted to propose the name Randall Jarrell Elementary School.
In keeping with the procedure, the board proposed name was posted on the district Web site for a period of public comment and feedback. Twenty-four additional public comments on the name have been received from the community. The comments can be summarized as follows:
- 14 opposed to the name Randall Jarrell Elementary School
- five in favor of Northern Elementary School
- four further suggestions/nominations for names
- one regarding suspending the naming until more nominations are made
Upon final approval of a name, staff will move forward with appropriate efforts regarding signage, etc.
