Committee refers proposal to name Putnam gym for Representative Bud Williams to buildings and maintenance subcommittee
Summary
School committee members voted to refer a naming proposal honoring Representative Bud ("Top Cat") Williams to the buildings and maintenance subcommittee for research and recommendation.
The Springfield School Committee on March 27 voted to refer a proposal to name the Roger L. Putnam Vocational Technical Academy gymnasium after state Representative Bud Williams to the buildings and maintenance subcommittee for research and recommendation.
Member Barbara Gresham introduced the recognition, recounting Williams’s time as a student and community contributions. The mayor and other members described the nominee as “humbled” by the honor. Mister Collins moved to refer the naming to the appropriate subcommittee; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
The committee’s referral directs the buildings and maintenance subcommittee to research any naming policy implications, vendor/installation costs, and bring a recommendation back to the full committee.
