AISD accepting suggestions for school names

Thursday, March 1, 2018 by Katy McElroy

Now that the Austin Independent School District has officially decided to rename five schools that were named after people with ties to the Confederacy, the district has decided to let the community decide what the new names should be. The five schools in question are John T. Allan Facility, Zachary Taylor Fulmore Middle School, Sidney Lanier High School, John H. Reagan High School and Eastside Memorial High School at the Johnston Campus. AISD is accepting submissions online at www.austinisd.org/naming, by mail at Community Engagement Office, Facility Naming Team, 1111 W. Sixth St., A-230, Austin, TX, 78703, or in person. Nominations will be accepted until 5 p.m. March 16.
