Board renames community center to honor longtime educator Grace A. Cojima
Summary
The board unanimously approved renaming the Bayer Community Educational Resource Center to the Grace A. Cojima Community Educational Resource Center, citing Cojima's decades of service and district leadership.
Trustees voted to rename the district’s Bayer Community Educational Resource Center the Grace A. Cojima Community Educational Resource Center and presented a certificate to Cojima’s family.
The resolution recited Cojima’s service as superintendent from 1993 to 2001, credited her with leading a large bond program in 1997 and with long‑term community leadership including scholarship endowments and support for local initiatives. The board framed the renaming as recognition of "enduring contributions to education and the community."
Board members and community representatives gave short tributes; family members and attendees joined in ceremonial remarks and photographs. The board said the renaming followed board policy 7310 naming procedures and public outreach conducted by the district’s renaming committee.
Next steps: the district will proceed with signage and project planning for the renamed facility as part of future facility work.
