Committee schedules public hearing on Station Avenue Elementary gym dedication proposal
Summary
The school committee accepted a naming request and voted to place the Station Avenue Elementary gymnasium dedication on a future agenda for public comment before a final vote.
The school committee voted on May 19 to place a proposal to dedicate the Station Avenue Elementary gymnasium to Patricia Watson on an upcoming agenda for public comment, beginning the three‑step naming process required by policy.
The superintendent explained the procedure in the district naming policy: a first read (this meeting), a public hearing for commenters and the submitting group, and a later meeting with a motion and vote. He said the committee received a packet from a small committee proposing the gym dedication and recommended a public hearing to solicit input.
A committee member moved and a second was recorded to place the proposal on a future meeting agenda; the motion passed by voice vote. The superintendent said he would schedule the public hearing for a June meeting and make appropriate announcements.
No final naming decision was made; the item will return to the committee for a vote after the public hearing stage.
