So, now we will see if they listen to the community.  Predictions?[/quote]

There is a Marshall but I guess that will go since I assume people will complain about The Marshall Plan eventually.  In any event the exact words for the one vote category were really broad:

Justice, Justice Marshall, Justice Thurgood Marshall, Marshall, Thurgood C Marshall, Thurgood Marshall, Thurgood Marshall Justice 
444 first
256 second
63 third
763 total [far highest after Stuart]

So call it Justice and hang his portrait.  Take the difference between the cheap solution and the expensive and reduce the budget-or let the sending area come up with the money.  That school should have people focused on bringing up academic achievement.  Which is bad.  Better yet get rid of the expensive IB there and it's feeders and the county pay for the change.[/quote]

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.  Plus, more people voted for Stuart than Marshall.

It's interesting in the FOIA'd documents that Thurgood Marshall was mentioned at the very beginning of the process by the "changers".  And, they are like a dog with a bone.  No matter that there was already a Marshall High.  Talk about not thinking about unintended consequences.

If they choose this name it will show that the whole thing was rigged from the start.  [/quote]
