LOL!  Learn to add.  Learn to think about "unintended consequences"--in this case, all the little problems that arise from changing the name.  Stationary, signs, turf, rubber stamps, paperwork, transcripts, binders, logos, more signs, spirit gear, uniforms, athletic equipment, band equipment.  Then, think about all the time it will take in administrative duties to purchase and change all of these things.  Then, multiply all the extra time that admin will spend on transcripts from former students and all the letters that will have to accompany college admissions processes, etc.  SATs; ACTs;  All of these things are tied to the school and will cause problems that require time and effort.  One million is probably just a start.  FCPS has already acknowledged $750 K in real things--they did not take the admin costs into consideration.  And, FYI, labor is always one of the biggest expenses.

It's a miracle you can even get out of bed in the morning with all the tasks that confront you.

My understanding is FCPS estimates have ranged from as much as $675K to as little as under $200K.  Trying to monetize every routine task you can think of and then rounding way up to $1.0 million is pathetic.

I watched the school board meeting--the video is online somewhere. The FCPS estimate was $400,000 just to change from JEB Stuart to Stuart. A complete name change was estimated at $900,000, which is indeed almost a million. I don't know how it could be done with "as little as under $200k." Surely you aren't suggesting that we do this on the cheap?
