[quote=Anonymous][quote]The school board needs to have a backbone and say it's not changing the name or it is. They estimate $500,000 for "changing" to Stuart. I'd rather them keep it as JEB Sturat rather than spending that money because NO ONE will think it's any other Stuart than JEB. That is just a ridiculous use of taxpayer dollars for no principled reason. The fact that they are the ones that floated it as a change the community should get behind doesn't give me any confidence that they won't go forward with that farce. They will foot the entire bill for that change because I can't imagine anyone in their right mind donating to such a ridiculous "change."[/quote]

If I had been the SB, when this first came up, they should have just said that--in the future, any purchases of equipment, etc, will drop the "JEB".  Most people just called it Stuart, in any case.  Money would only be spent as replacements were needed.

As for all this chatter about honoring Jeb, that doesn't really occur in these schools.   Do they have JEB Stuart day that honors Jeb?  Most of the kids did not even know anything about him.

This whole thing has been a witch hunt that is costing the taxpayers.  And, it will continue with other schools.

Drop the Jeb.  Change the equipment as necessary.  Move forward.  Cost: nul
