Rutland High School students are getting closer to selecting a new mascot, and theyâre looking to the community for help.
In October, the Rutland City Board of School Commissioners approved a motion stating that âall Rutland City schools cease use of the Raider name and imagery, and that the Rutland City School administration work with our student body to come up with a new mascot that would be more inclusive and welcoming, and to bring this suggestion before this board for approvalâ by Feb. 9, 2021.
Debate within the Rutland community has since grown contentious, with efforts to put the matter to a city-wide referendum, calls to vote down the forthcoming school budget, at least two city residents declaring their intention to run for the board in March, and two current board members reporting being threatened and physically accosted over how they voted.
