Board renames Early Childhood Education Center for Robert Capiferi; one member abstains
Summary
The board approved renaming the district's Early Childhood Education Center the Robert Capiferi Early Childhood Education Center, praising Capiferi's longtime support; one trustee abstained because of a role with the Robert Capu Ferry Foundation.
The Hamilton Board of Education voted June 18 to rename the district’s Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) the Robert Capiferi Early Childhood Education Center.
The motion was introduced by a board member who highlighted Capiferi’s long-standing volunteer and in-kind support for school programs — from book fairs and student coats to facility repairs. Supporters described decades of service to schools and families.
A trustee stated they would abstain from the vote "in my position as a trustee of the Robert Capu Ferry Foundation," but affirmed support for the renaming. After a roll-call vote the motion carried.
Board members said additional details about the renaming process and signage will be provided in the coming weeks.
Next steps: district staff will proceed with administrative steps related to the facility’s new name and record the official change in board minutes.
