District advances renaming logistics for McFarland Primary School and plans display honoring Conrad Albion
Summary
Administrators said the district is managing McFarland Primary School renaming logistics at no cost to the district and is forming a group to design a display recognizing Conrad Albion, including acknowledgment of his role with restrictive covenants; fundraising and a proposal will follow.
The board received an update on the McFarland Primary School renaming process and plans to create a display recognizing Conrad Albion. District administrators said they have completed initial branding and logistical changes at no cost and are forming a working group to develop a proposal for a public display that would both celebrate Albion’s accomplishments and acknowledge his involvement with restrictive covenants.
Administrators and board members named Bruce and Megan Fessler as involved in the working group and said the group will examine what a display would look like, where it would be placed and possible fundraising approaches. The superintendent said the district has not spent funds for the renaming work to date and that further details and a formal proposal, potentially including fundraising opportunities, will be presented in the coming weeks.
No formal vote was taken; the update was informational and staff flagged future steps including a design proposal and possible fundraising to pay for the display.
