High School Naming <br />Chairman McBride stated during the board meeting on September 14, 2016 the Board motioned to accept <br />Black Canyon High School, Phantom mascot and the colors silver, black and royal blue to represent our new <br />high school. He noted that policy was honored, a committee was commissioned by the Board, who then <br />moved forward in naming the school. The Board appreciated the work and effort of this Naming Committee. <br />However, the community was disenfranchised for not being involved in the selection and decision. Many calls <br />and emails were sent to the Board and District Administration representing both the pros and cons of the <br />name. The board has felt the community concern; the process of naming the school and the name are two <br />different processes. Chairman McBride stated that the Board was here to support the community. <br />Superintendent Shackett stated that this is the 7th new school that has been named in the last twelve years. <br />Through the process of naming the new high school we have listened to the community and have sensed the <br />need to revise the current policy that guides us in naming our schools. The revised policy will include <br />community input and a district survey and the policy will go through its normal revision procedures. The <br />survey will be sent to the parents, middle and high school students, and community at large including tax <br />payers without school students. Mr. Woolstenhulme presented a sample of the survey. Mr. McLaren stated <br />that the former Naming Committee would be willing to help with the survey and naming process again. Black <br />Canyon High School Phantoms and current colors will still be in the top three choices. Mr. Pymm stated that <br />the color scheme is of upmost importance at this stage of building design and where color will be evident, <br />Addendum and change orders could increase cost if changes in colors occur. The interior designer needs <br />colors to tie into the design and budget. The board advised for the architects not to use green, yellow, red or <br />Board of Trustees Brian McBride Paul Jenkins Anny Landers Jeff Bird Greg Calder <br />
