[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Awful. They pulled this name out of their a**es.

Because they wanted this name all along,[b] they sent out a BS survey[/b] with this name and a bunch of other awful names, knowing well-sure the public would choose this name because it was the least offensive of the group. That doesn't mean the public actually supported this name.

This name will be the butt of many jokes. It is a horrendous choice.[/quote]

This is what they do. Every single thing, every single time. They send out a survey and then proceed to do whatever it was they wanted to do in the first place, regardless of community and parental input. 
Makes me want to throttle them.[/quote]

Sorry know I’m bit behind but thought Western was Reid’s public recommendation?  Then I recall she sneakily “amended” her rec to include this Skyview name and recommended choosing from both.  And now SB has just rubber stamped her bidding and gone with name she probably wanted all along??[/quote]

First, they solicited community input.  That input indicated that names like Western and Oak View were popular choices.

Then Reid came up with 10 possibilities, which included Western, Skyview, and a bunch of individuals with ties to space exploration, and excluded Oak View and other geographic names.  A later poll showed that Western was the most popular name among families and Skyview the most popular name among students (although no one knows yet which students will ultimately be in-boundary for the school).

Then Reid initially proposed Western, and subsequently proposed either Western or Skyview.

Seema Dixit then made the motion at the School Board meeting last night to pick Skyview.  Ilryong Moon seconded the motion and passed by a 9-0-1 vote, with McDaniel abstaining and McElveen absent from the meeting.[/quote]
