But the Red Raider name is not going anywhere.
Superintendent of Schools Bruce Potter spoke with The Daily Gazette in July about the potential change in the school district and in November began creating a committee made up administration and community members to discuss the issue.
“The mascot name or Red Raiders is not up for discussion as the Board of Education is committed to maintaining the proud history of our school and athletic department identity,” Potter wrote in the invitational memo.
“It is the goal of this committee to develop, design, and select a new logo that is not racially or ethically insensitive,” Potter’s memo stated.
