[quote=Anonymous][quote]What part of the vote is not binding and is only meant to advise the board of what the community thinks do you not understand? There is no winning. They can interpret the results however they want. They can pick Schooly McSchoolface if the want and be within the rules. They specifically made it their ultimate decision so they could look at all the votes and consider factors such as a majority of the votes going to names associated with ending segregation of schools, while 18 percent selected Stuart. They can decide that 18 percent is a sufficient threshold, or they can look at the nature of the other votes. They, as the school board, get to decide. The only name that will "win" is the name they select. Let's see what that is and which side will be complaining about the rules being changed and the process being rigged, despite the rules being clearly stated from the beginning of the process.

You are right.  They can do whatever they want.  Two years ago Evans said in an email that her constituents would be very happy with Marshall (not even considering that there was already a Marshall High.)

But, when you establish procedures and repeatedly ignore the responses (as in the first survey which supported keeping the name), people question your sincerity.

Selecting" Stuart" would save the taxpayers @ $3/4 million.  Clearly, you do not care.
