Trustees vote to solicit community feedback on potential renaming of Colonies North
Summary
After receiving multiple nominations and policy updates, the board voted to solicit feedback from the impacted school community about a possible renaming of Colonies North; trustees discussed cost, process and community reaction.
At the conclusion of a lengthy discussion about facility‑naming policy, Northside trustees voted to begin soliciting input from the impacted school community for a potential renaming of Colonies North.
Administration said the district has collected nominations through an online form and has a compiled spreadsheet of candidate submissions; trustees debated whether the board should begin soliciting broader community feedback now and asked administration to estimate costs. One trustee noted marquee, signage and stationery changes could cost "north of $50,000." Others cautioned that renaming an existing campus can stir strong community feelings and asked that the board be deliberate about thresholds for pursuing renaming.
After discussion, a motion to begin the feedback process for Colonies North passed; the board directed administration to solicit impacted-community feedback and to return with clarifying material, including cost estimates and nomination documentation, before any final action.
