(CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA) On Monday, May 3 at 5 p.m., the Charlottesville City Schools Superintendent Committee on Facilities Names will host its first public meeting to gather input in the naming of schools. The meeting will focus on Clark and Venable, the two oldest schools in the division and the first to be considered for review.
The Committee on Facilities Names was created by Dr. Rosa Atkins in the fall of 2020 to create a process for review and to guide the community through discussion and decision-making. The schools’ websites notes, “Like many communities, universities, and K-12 schools across the country, Charlottesville City Schools is aware that our schools’ names send a message to our students, staff, and community and should therefore reflect our values.”
