OCS Approves River Park Elementary and Orange Middle to Replace Cameron, Stanford Namesakes
The Orange County Schools Board of Education approved new names for two of its schools on Monday night: River Park Elementary School and Orange Middle School.
Both names passed in a single, unanimous vote by the school board. The new names update the schools known as Cameron Park Elementary School and C.W. Stanford Middle School. Renaming the two schools is part of a 14-step strategy outlined in a recent school board policy to improve how the district addresses racial inequities, intolerance and academic disparities.
The board voted on several names proposed by a School Renaming Committee, formed earlier in the year to determine the best online submissions from the Orange County Schools community. The committee, made up of 18 people, met six total times and first presented the name options to the board on June 9.
