JACKSONVILLE, Fla. While community balloting on name changes has ended for five Duval County schools, only the first week of voting has wrapped up for the last four named after Confederate leaders or those responsible for killing or removing Native American populations.
Local activists in favor of the name changes say Jacksonville’s participation in the process, especially at Robert E. Lee High School has been steady.
