10.3 Naming of Facilities Recommendations_January 5, 2023 SB Meeting.pdf
Background and Summary: At the December meeting, recommendations were presented from the Naming of Facilities Committee regarding the renaming of Venable Elementary School and Clark Elementary School. The recommendation presented for Venable was Trailblazers Elementary, and the recommendation for Clark was Friendship Elementary School. Following Board discussion for the Clark recommendation, the Board requested that the community share opinions via email to the Board about the choice for Clark.

A board member also requested that the committee meet again to affirm the decision made earlier, and that occurred in December. The committee determined that they needed more staff input on the choice and the staff was surveyed.

The status of the Clark survey and recommendation will be shared although the committee is not requesting that the Board take action for Clark. It is recommended that the Board vote on the recommendation for Venable Elementary School to be renamed Trailblazer Elementary School.
