Naming Committee Update
On Wednesday night we had our first committee meeting for the naming of our new high school. I want to thank the committee members who participated in this discussion and represented their communities.
I’ve received a few questions about how a school’s name is selected. Like the new schools that opened before us, we are following Fulton County School Board Policy FDC – Naming of Facilities – to ensure we have representation from the communities we will serve. The naming committee was made up of 24 parents and students that represent our new school’s attendance zone as well as representatives from the historical society and the Milton City Council. Committee members will work with their communities to be sure that their input will be received and shared back with the committee at-large.
As next steps, our committee will resume on Wednesday, September 28, to come up with two or three names to recommend to the school board on October 20 for first reading. It is important to understand that our committee’s recommendations are recommendations and no action will be taken for at least one month while the school board hears from the community and gets feedback. The Fulton County Board of Education is scheduled to vote on our high school’s official name on November 15.
Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments at spurka@fultonschools.org.
