The New School Project has been a community-wide effort for many years and at this exciting time, the Board would once again like to include the community in choosing the name for the new school!
The New School Naming Committee, consisting of Board members, CES and HHES principals, teachers, and PTO presidents, as well as 2 community members, has narrowed the field to 5 potential names that meet BOE Policy 7551. Sources for these name suggestions came from the public forums held last fall, considerations from the Municipal Building Committee, as well as students at CES and HHES.
Please watch the BOE meeting from 12/16. to see the in-depth discussion and review these documents for more information on each name’s rationale. Visit http://newschoolproject.brookfieldps.org/ to view the presentations shown in BOE meetings and to students.
We invite you to complete this informational survey that will be very helpful for the BOE’s upcoming decision. We would like to state clearly that this survey is not intended to be a public vote on the new school’s name and the BOE may not choose the name ranked highest. Rather, for those that did not attend the public forums last fall or did not write to the naming committee, this is another opportunity for engagement and the results of this survey will be strongly considered. The BOE will review and share the results of this survey publicly and likely vote on the name at its January 20th meeting so please stay tuned!
