Thanks to Brent at On the Road Collaborative for the tip on this opportunity for City residents....



The Harrisonburg City School Board is asking residents of Harrisonburg City to submit recommendations for the new elementary school being built on Garbers Church Road AND the new pre-school center being built at Smithland Elementary School.

This is a great opportunity to make your voice heard on important decisions in our community that will last for generations to come!

Facility naming guidelines include:

1. In general, when consideration is being given to naming a school or facility after an individual (must have been deceased at least 10 years), the Board may consider those who have attained prominence locally, statewide or nationally. Examples include but are not limited to: in the fields of education, science, art, statesmanship, politics or the military;
    
   
2. If recommending the name of an individual, please include any notable contributions;
    
   
3. Local geographic names may also be considered. These names should be clearly identifying, widely known, and recognized. Please include the relevance to the Valley and/or Harrisonburg and perhaps any other relevant history supporting it.

Recommendations must be received by 4:00 p.m. on December 10, 2015. The School Board will begin discussion on this matter at the January 19, 2016 school board work session.
