Where is the money going to come from?

It will come from a $2.75 billion budget. If we can afford AAP, TJ, and freshman and JV lacrosse, we can afford to undo decades of institutional racism crammed down the throats of minority kids.

How about you take the time you're now spending on tracking donations and spend it more productively? You can find these celebrities' agents online and tell them about the opportunity to donate. But I suspect you'd rather just keep watching that donation total and seething that the keepers lost.

Looks like the Changers are the losers. At this rate, the school will be called Stuart for many more years.

They can't even crack $15,000? That's just pathetic. I can understand why having Cohen's and Moore's hypocrisy and lack of financial support called out bothers you so much.

What bothers me is keepers who whine about the cost and put so much energy into blasting a change that is now a done deal. And there's no "calling out" of the celebrity alumni--you have no way to know whether they've donated or not. It's also almost amusing how the people crying about cost seem to think donations should already be huge when it's just a few weeks since the decision. It's as if they think the dollars should have rolled in overnight. If they're that worried about the cost they should get behind a campaign to publicize the opportunity to donate. But no, it's easier for them just to complain.

So put a lid on it, unless you want to be lumped in with the other old white losers in their 60s who show up and cry at School Board meetings (literally) about losing their Confederate names.

No, and you don't speak for the majority so STFU

Generally, uniforms, signs, etc, are replaced on a revolving calendar-and, as needed. However, when you have to replace everything at once, it is very expensive-like a new school.

Turf fields, scoreboards, uniforms and sports equipment, and signs, signs, and more signs. Painting, etc.

There are lots of signs in schools that use the school name. Football uniforms are very expensive--and remember, each kid needs two jerseys. This is true for pretty much all the sports. Wrestling mats, etc. Those marquee signs do not come cheap and neither do scoreboards. This does not take into consideration all the man hours to design and change logos, stationary, transcripts, etc. Books need to be restamped--so there will be a large purchase of things like rubber stamps--those are not cheap either. Not only that, but someone has to perform the labor.
There will also be additional administrative needs with transcripts, etc. On and on and on.

There are also a couple of street signs on Rt. 7 that will either need to be changed or removed. Both activities cost money.
And there are probably other places in the community where the name has to be changed as well. It's not just jersey's and band uniforms.

Wow. Two street signs, huh?
