Over 150 people weighed in on possible names for the building during the month-long suggestion period. The committee has narrowed the suggestions down to 15 proposed names. The public is now asked to give input on which of the following names it would like to see on the new building.
The following are the options for a new school name: Noreen M. Kokoruda Elementary, Warner P. Lord Elementary, Robert Graham Hale Elementary, Taffy Bowes Elementary, Dr. Donald C. Rankin Elementary, James Madison Elementary, Alice Palmer Elementary, Shoreline Elementary,
Hammonasset Elementary, Neck River Elementary, Seaside Elementary
Woodland Elementary, Meadowland Elementary, Willowside Elementary, and Mountain Laurel Elementary.
Following the public input session, the committee will review the feedback and then further narrow the suggestions down to 3-5 names that will be recommended to the Board of Education for its consideration. If unable to attend the input session, members of the public can share their input on the suggested names by emailing newschoolname@madisonps.org.
The public input session is Tuesday, Dec. 12, at 5 p.m. at Town Campus, 10 Campus Drive, Conference Room C, and via Zoom.
