Board names new Elementary No. 2 'Stillwater Elementary' following family vote
Summary
After a two-stage family voting process, the board approved the name 'Stillwater Elementary' for the district's new Elementary No. 2; the board voted to adopt the recommended name by motion and voice vote.
The Davis School District Board approved 'Stillwater Elementary' as the official name for the district's new elementary school following an email nomination and online runoff vote among families assigned to the new school.
Ruth Ann Keller described the naming process: the district initially solicited suggestions by email to affected families (717 emails sent, 51 initial responses), narrowed to a top four, held a runoff that returned several hundred votes, and reported the winning option received about 42% of the runoff vote. Keller announced "Stillwater Elementary" as the selected name.
Board member Hogan moved to accept the name 'Stillwater Elementary' and Miss Price seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote. Board members and student representatives remarked that the name fits the community and that next steps will include soliciting mascot and color suggestions.
No formal dissent or amendment was recorded in the meeting transcript.
