Former President Woodrow Wilsonâs name will not be attached to the replacement campus for Denton ISDâs Woodrow Wilson Elementary, which will instead be known as Nette Shultz Elementary School.
The unanimous decision came after Denton ISD school board members spent nearly three hours in closed session Tuesday night, presumably devoting time to a multitude of issues not related to the schoolâs name.
Board members didnât publicly discuss the change at all before unanimously approving it.
The name change comes at a convenient time for the district as the replacement campus is scheduled to open in time for the 2021-22 school year. The names will officially switch on July 1, 2021, according to the motion approved Tuesday.
