PRIORITY (LEVEL 7)

Board to Adopt Revised School Renaming Policy

The policy creates a formal pathway for renaming proposals, including those initiated by trustee-convened committees, and sets criteria that include contributions to ‘civil rights’ and ‘human rights,’ creating a mechanism to remove historical names based on contemporary ideological standards.
