Reply to comment by ZephyrInfernum in School board set to rename 4 Richmond schools by Charlesinrichmond
I do think CCPS has a policy where you can't name a school after anyone alive. Some kind of 30 years after death policy probably gives time to contextualize a person. I would not have a problem with Barack Obama having an elementary school named after him in 2100, but while he was a sitting president? Not my idea of a good idea.
That being said, there are plenty of neighborhood names you could slap on neighborhood schools, along with plenty of amorphous things that vaguely represent Richmond or Virginia you could use. Dogwood Elementary. Cardinal Middle. Forest Hill High.
