At the December 7 School Committee meeting, the Committee announced its intention to name the new kindergarten building. In compliance with the School Committee policy and procedure for Naming School Facilities, clerk Helen Pickard will chair a subcommittee to organize name suggestions and present a recommendation to the full School Committee for a vote. Community members who wish to propose a name should submit their suggestion in writing to bnc@northandoverpublicschools.com by 3:00 pm on January 16, 2018. Please include a brief explanation as to why we should consider the name. As per our policy, we will consider names with educational significance or inspiration, location/geographical names, names of distinguished leaders who will lend dignity and stature to the school facility or names that include significant or pertinent events. We will update the community on progress at the School Committee meeting on February 8. The subcommittee will present all names suggested, along with a recommendation for vote by the School Committee on March 1. |
