Summary

The board asked the General Smallwood renaming committee to reconvene and consider alternative names after community engagement, and expects to take a final vote at the April work session.

On March 11 the Charles County Board of Education received an update from the General Smallwood renaming committee on community feedback gathered in engagement sessions and asked the committee to reconvene to consider alternative names.

Board members and community participants provided feedback during engagement sessions, and several board members asked the committee to revisit the original list of proposed names in light of that feedback. The board is expected to take a final vote on the renaming at the April work session, according to the March 11 update.

No final name was selected at the March 11 meeting and no formal vote was recorded. The committee and board indicated they will return to the topic at the April work session with revised options based on community input.
