At Monday’s school board meeting, the equity council said two Fayette county schools should be recommended for immediate name change.
"Number one, Dixie Elementary, number two, Lexington Traditional Magnet School," Soraya Matthews, the district’s chief officer of Unity, Belonging, and Student Efficacy listed them off. "The ECC suggests utilizing a process called photo voice to engage stakeholders in the name change process and gather meaningful feedback."
A further six schools – Henry Clay High School, Martin Luther King Academy, and Yates, Stonewall, Squires, and Breckinridge elementary schools – were tagged as being in need of review.
The equity council asked the school board to create a committee to conduct in-depth historical research and hold stakeholder meetings for each school.
No action was taken by the board at Monday’s meeting.
