10-10-24 Citizens' Ad Hoc Regarding the Naming of Southside Elementary School

This was a meeting of the Madison Board of Education's Citizens' Ad Hoc Committee held on October 10, 2024, focused on the naming of Southside Elementary School and other schools. The committee reviewed and approved minutes from previous meetings and then deliberated on various naming proposals submitted for several schools, including Nine Springs, Badger Rock, Lori Man Cary, Shirley Abrahamson, Capital Springs, and Southside. The committee discussed rubric scores and proposal details to select preferred names, making motions and unanimous votes to approve specific proposals for each school. They also discussed the inclusion of the word "Community" in the Southside school name and agreed to move forward with "Southside Community School." The committee planned to release the shortlisted names to the public for further input before final ranking and voting at a subsequent meeting scheduled for December 17, 2024. No procurement or contracting matters were discussed during this meeting.
