After receiving feedback from residents, parents, students and teachers, the Northside ISD board of trustees discussed a potential name change of Colonies North Elementary to honor a notable gure within the NISD commu- nity Feb. 24. The gist The discussion took place after an open house at Colonies North Elementary and after district o cials received 617 survey responses, with 512 respondents against the renaming and 72 respondents in favor of the name change. In light of the strong opposition to a potential name NISD vetoes name change to Colonies North
change, the board decided not to take any action on the proposal. District 7 trustee Karen Free- man said the decision not to take any further action aligns with NISD’s community-focused policies. “I think one of the hallmarks of Northside is our community schools ... people identify that school as their school ... people want to stay at their school,” Freeman said. “I think we do need to listen to our community.” District 6 trustee Carol Harle pointed out that the name change would cost approximately $37,000, which is an unnecessary expense. “We are in a di erent economic time ... we are in a budget de cit, and so every dollar matters,” Harle said.
