(see margin notes) Mrs. Stidham requested that an item entitled Re-Drafting of School Board Rules Regarding Non-School Use of Educational Facilities, be added under section VII.B Items from the Board.

II. PROPOSED ADDITIONS OR REVISIONS TO SCHOOL DISTRICT RULES
A. Permission to Adopt
1. Notice of Intent to Adopt Dogwood Elementary as the Name for the New K-8 School in Molino, Florida
Motion was made by Ms. Finkelstein, seconded by Mrs. Bergosh, to adopt Dogwood Elementary as the name for the new K-8 school in Molino, Florida.
The Board recognized Charles Hendrix and Cheryl Weaver, residents of the Molino and Barrineau Park communities, who appealed to the Board for the new school to have a name that reflected both communities.
Ms. Finkelstein gave a brief review of the process and timeline used by Molino Elementary and Barrineau Park Elementary schools, in selecting a name for the new K-8 elementary school. She stated that on October 21, 2002, flyers were placed in community meeting places and businesses, notifying the community that all stakeholders could submit names for the new K-8 school during the week of October 28, 2002 through November 1, 2002. The joint School Advisory Councils from Barrineau Park Elementary and Molino Elementary and staffs from both schools met to reduce the list of names from 89 to 3: Dogwood Elementary; Molino Park Elementary; and Countryside Elementary. On November 13, 2002, students and staffs from both schools selected Dogwood Elementary as the name of the new K-8 school in Molino, Florida. (NOTE: Dogwood Elementary received 185 votes; Molino Park Elementary received 180 votes; and Countryside Elementary received 84 votes.) Ms. Finkelstein noted that while the students and staffs from both schools had selected Dogwood Elementary as the name of the new K-8 school, it was still up to the Board to make the decision as to whether the name would be Dogwood Elementary, Molino Park Elementary or Countryside Elementary. She believed that Countryside Elementary could be eliminated for consideration, as it had only received 84 votes. However, she noted that there had been a very narrow vote margins between Dogwood Elementary, which received 185 votes and Molino Park Elementary, which received 180 votes. In consideration of the narrow vote margins and the desire for a name that would reflect both communities, Ms. Finkelstein offered a substitute motion to adopt Molino Park Elementary as the name for the new K-8 school in Molino, Florida.Dr. DeWitt seconded the substitute motion.
The Board recognized the following speakers:
Cheryl Weaver, who re-addressed an appeal to the Board, for the new school to have a name that reflected both communities.
Alice Woodward, Interim Principal of Barrineau Park Elementary and Molino Elementary, who reminded the Board that the students and staffs from both schools had selected Dogwood Elementary as the name of the new K-8 school.
Substitute motion was approved 4 to 1, with Mrs. Bergosh voting No.
