[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:08 So you think spending on a name change is more important than restoring the teacher positions that are being eliminated at that same school?[/quote]

If the students feel that strongly about it, and given the history of Stuart himself and the timing of the decision to name the HS that, it's very possible that they do, then I'm not going to tell them no.  [/quote]

What about the students and parents that want teachers instead? Or the fact that the school board isn't even looking into private money for this change? How strongly can they really be about it if they aren't willing to raise any funds?[/quote]

How is it a "fact" that the School Board isn't looking into private money?  One of the working groups set up months ago was asked to identify funding mechanisms, but not to raise money yet.

It seems they ought to determine, as a matter of principle, that the current name is inappropriate.  Then they can explore ways to offset the cost.

No one believes for a second that FCPS would name a school after a Confederate general today, and the name is an albatross across the neck of FCPS.  Time to get rid of it.
