Overland Elementary will be the name of one of Rochester's two new schools being constructed in the northwest quadrant of the city.
The School Board approved the name on Tuesday with a 6-1 vote. Jess Garcia was the sole opposing board member. The decision came after the School Board had a split vote on the same name during its last meeting.
During both meetings, Garcia said she didn't think the top two names that came out of the nomination process were representative enough of the whole community. She acknowledged the community followed the district's request when it was asked for name suggestions, but she still would vote against the Overland option.
