Board approves naming Mosley High MCJROTC marksmanship range after Lt. Col. John Binack
Summary
The Bay School Board voted unanimously to name the Mosley High School MCJROTC Marksmanship Range for Lt. Col. John Binack after discussion about the district's naming policy and calls for equitable handling of future namings.
The Bay School Board voted on March 24 to name the Mosley High School MCJROTC Marksmanship Range after Lt. Col. John Binack. The motion was moved by Mr. Winston Chester and seconded by Mr. Christopher Moore; the minutes record the vote as unanimous in favor.
Board members discussed how the district handles names for facilities. Mr. Chester and Mr. Moore spoke in support of the naming; Mr. Register asked the district attorney about applicable policy for naming buildings. Attorney Harrison told the board that the policy permits honoring either living or deceased individuals. Mr. Register emphasized that facility namings should be handled equitably, and Chair Steve Moss urged a process that is "firm, fair and consistent." The board approved the naming following that discussion.
Why it matters: Naming a school facility recognizes an individual's service and shapes how programs are perceived by students and the community; board discussion indicates attention to process equity for future namings.
What’s next: The board's vote approves the name; the minutes do not record further implementation steps in this meeting.
