Thank you for your interest and participation.
Background
At the February 15, 2007 Board of Education Meeting, community members

Goethe to the Board and requested that the middle school bearing his name
be changed. Board Policy 7310 states, in part, “The renaming of existing
schools or major facilities shall occur only under extraordinary
circumstances and after thorough study.” On March 1, 2007 at Board of
Education meeting, the Board authorized the Superintendent to convene a
citizen advisory committee to review suggestions for renaming C. M. Goethe
Middle School.
The committee met on May 14th, 21st and June 4th
