Forget the frills

To the editor:

If “time is money,” then let’s consider our priorities. What is the benefit or necessity of changing school names? If we change the names of our schools, what is that going to cost? Do we need to spend tax dollars paying people to spend time making such decisions? Even if people volunteer to do that, signs on the buildings would have to be obliterated or changed, and all the stationery used would have to be redone or replaced. Are we just trying to be “in style”?

Please spend faculty and administrator time teaching and encouraging the progress of students. That is the whole purpose of our education system. Let’s look to our priorities. Forget the frills.
