Board names Findlay gymnasium for longtime coach Rhonda Girdley
Summary
The board voted to rename the Findlay Elementary gymnasium in honor of Rhonda Girdley, a 50-year educator and long-serving elementary basketball coach.
The White County Board of Education voted Thursday to rename the Findlay Elementary School gymnasium in honor of Rhonda Girdley, who has taught at the school since 1977 and coached the elementary basketball program for about 44 seasons.
Rebecca Ryan, principal at Findlay Elementary, requested the naming and described Girdley's decades of classroom and coaching service. Board members cited Girdley's long contributions to the school and wider community in supporting the motion. The board referenced board policy 2310, which governs facility naming and requires board action after input from school personnel and the public.
Mister McDonald moved and Miss Fowler seconded the motion to name the facility the Rhonda Girdley Gymnasium; the motion carried by voice vote. The board directed administration to follow the policy steps to formalize the naming.
Board members and attendees applauded Girdley's service during the meeting. No dissenting votes were recorded during the voice vote.
