Schools committee will take up naming issue

YOUNGSTOWN — The city school board will look to a three-member facilities committee for a recommendation on whether the new North Elementary should get a name change, and what it might be called.

A resolution that was to appear on Tuesday’s school board agenda calling for the school to be named the Martin Luther King Elementary was referred to the committee without any board action.

The Rev. Michael Write, board president, said that he and board members Lock P. Beachum Sr. and Shelley Murray will make up the facilities committee, and they will meet at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in the district administration offices at 20 W. Wood St. to take up the issue.
