NORTH CAROLINA, May 23 - Today, Governor Roy Cooper visited Washington Gifted and Talented Magnet Elementary School in Raleigh to emphasize the dangerous
PEORIA – Thomas Jefferson Primary School will become C.T. Vivian Primary School, effective July 1.
With no discussion, the Peoria Public School board voted unanimously for the name change late in a meeting Monday night.
It is the first of six PPS schools being considered for new names. The other five schools are Charles Lindbergh, Roosevelt Magnet, Harrison, Washington Gifted and Calvin Coolidge.
The only discussion about the name change came when audience member Ernestine Jackson, a former PPS school board member and a longtime member of the Peoria NAACP, stepped up to the podium during the time allotted for audience members to speak.
