RADNORÂ â A day after a student walkout in support of its former nickname and despite getting the most nominations from its rebranding committee, Radnor School District officials Tuesday said they would not reconsider bringing back the school s Raider nickname.
Last year, the school board voted to remove both the schoolâs Raider nickname and all Native-American imagery.
Over the last several months, supporters of the old nickname have continued to express support for it. Despite support for the Raider name, school officials say they wonât reconsider it.
