The Duval County School Board was presented with new information Tuesday morning on the cost of a hotly contested topic in Duval County: renaming schools.
A big takeaway is that no sales tax dollars will be used in the renaming process. What's expected to cost the most are sports uniforms and athletic gear.
When Westside High School's name was changed in 2014 the total cost was about $185,000. Athletic gear is where costs were highest at Westside, about $140,000 to change.
That's what the district anticipates will cost the most this time, followed by the school mascot, which the superintendent notes may not need to change, band uniforms, and gym floors.
