AUBURN â The Auburn Enlarged City School District Board of Education approved more than 30 people from a variety of backgrounds to sit on a committee that will review the possible renaming of Auburn High School.
The 36-person panel will review suggestions from the public and bring a recommendation to the district. The school board approved the panel at its meeting Tuesday night.
In January, some high school students launched a campaign to rename the school after Harriet Tubman, the iconic abolitionist and former Auburn resident. Students' efforts included a petition that was presented to the district. Later that month, the board voted on a resolution to explore and possibly begin the process of renaming a school building.
