Summary

An ad hoc naming committee recommended adding a dedication bench for Christina Maloney and naming two district sites — Racy Road and Gary Vanderzee Field — unanimous among committee members; board members expressed support and asked for implementation details.

An ad hoc naming committee presented three recommended namings under the district’s new naming policy and reported unanimous support. The recommendations are a dedication bench and plaque in memory of Christina Maloney, designation of 'Racy Road' and naming the athletic site 'Gary Vanderzee Field.'

Committee members described community connections to the names — one member recalled Gary Vanderzee on the football field and Ron Racy associated with the bus garage road — and board members endorsed the recommendations. The committee will work on signage details and scheduling for dedications; the board discussed keeping some specific presentation elements confidential until arrangements are finalized.

Next steps: the district will finalize sign and plaque details and schedule dedications in coordination with honorees and families.
