Officials approve historical plaque for former Prairieville High at Prairieville Middle School
Summary
The Christy family will place a historical plaque commemorating the former Prairieville High School at the Prairieville Middle School site; the family will pay a $3,400 permit fee and the board approved the request and discussed placement and wording.
A presenter told the meeting that the Christy family petitioned to place a historical plaque commemorating the old Prairieville High School at the location of the current Prairieville Middle School. The family has prepared the application and will pay the $3,400 permit fee; the application deadline referenced in the transcript is May 15.
The presenter said the plaque would mark the property and would not place the building on a historical registry, which would trigger a different review and maintenance regime. Board members discussed possible locations for the marker, including near the roundabout at Bronson or closer to the front where the old gym once stood, and asked to review the final application wording before it is submitted.
A motion to accept the application and allow the plaque was made and, according to the transcript, was moved by Mr. Klein Peter and seconded by Miss Blooming; a voice vote was called and the motion carried. The transcript records that the family has prepared the application PDF for board review.
The presenter said the plaque image shown to the board was a sample pulled from an online source and that staff will provide the final application and location details for board sign-off before submission.
Provenance: The plaque request and discussion are recorded from SEG 125 through SEG 216 in the transcript.
