[quote=Anonymous]They already have a majority to rename the school:  Megan McLaughlin, Abrar Omeish, Rachna Sizemore Heizer, Karen Keys Gamarra, Karl Frisch, Ricardy Anderson, Laura Jane Cohen

Rationale:

"This topic specifically relates to our countywide One Fairfax Policy, School Naming Policy 8170.7, and Strategic Plan Goal 2: Safe, Supported, Included, and Empowered. 2. Objective of the topic/conversation:  To have the School Board initiate its School Renaming Process for W.T. Woodson High School, with a completion date prior to December 2023.

In reviewing the School Board's calendar, the optimal timing to initiate this 2-month renaming process is Sept 14th-Nov 9th, 2023.

It should be noted that the School Name Policy 8170.7 states that: “the School Board shall make every effort to respect the preference of the community; however, final decisions on the naming of school facilities…shall rest entirely with the School Board.”

In this spirit, we as co-sponsors support the advocacy of current students and community members to initiate the name change process and to consider renaming it in honor of Carter G. Woodson.  To date, there are a number of schools, public buildings, and parks across the country that are named in honor of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, including UVA’s Carter G. Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies."
