CISD wants suggestions for school, police station names
By JAKE MUONIO
Conroe Independent School District is looking for help naming several new schools and a police station.
Among those facilities is a new elementary whose students will eventually attend Oak Ridge High School. That school is located in The Falls of Imperial Oaks development. Other facilities include an elementary and an intermediate school in the Conroe High School feeder, and the station for CISD Police Department.
All of the facilities are expected to open in fall 2009.
Nominations for names are being accepted through Nov. 19.
The district’s guidelines for facility names allows for them to be named after:
- Geographical areas;
- Public officials or other “prominent persons” who have benefited CISD or the community.
- People who “have gained recognition in education or the arts.
- People who have donated land or money for a specific facility.
- And heroes “whose names lend prestige and status to an institution of leaning, and whose lives and achievements serve as a positive role model for the students who will attend the particular school.”
Anyone can submit a name suggestion, but dropping off a written nomination at any CISD campus or by e-mailing it to cisd@conroeisd.net.
Nominations should include the suggested name and reasons for selecting the name.
At that point, the District-level Planning and Decision-making Committee will review the nominations and make recommendations to the CISD Board of Trustees. A decision by the board on what to name the facilities could come as early as December.
