Credit Spokane Public Schools The Spokane school board voted Wednesday night to change the identities of several schools. Most notably, it renamed Sheridan Elementary after Spokane civil rights leader Frances Scott.
Jerrall Haynes, chair of the Spokane Public School Board, said he fully supported the new name, and said it was personally significant to him.
“And I never once thought I’d have the opportunity to name a school after a Black woman, right? Especially not here in Spokane.”
Frances Scott Elementary was previously named for Philip Sheridan, a Civil War era American military leader. The quote The only good Indian is a dead Indian is attributed to him.
