Goose Creek CISD is seeking community input for the names of Early Learning Academy-Central and Robotics Academy, scheduled to open fall 2022.

 

Suggestions for the names of Early Learning Academy-Central and Robotics Academy may be sent to the Goose Creek CISD Superintendent’s Office at P. O. Box 30, Baytown, TX 77522. Each written nomination must be a separate document. Nominations may be faxed to 281-420-4815, emailed to noemi.garcia@gccisd.net or brought to the Goose Creek CISD Administration Building, 4544 Interstate 10 East. Nominations will be accepted from January 11-31st.

 

According to Goose Creek CISD Board Policy, the nomination should include three paragraphs, containing biographical data, the significant contribution of the nominee and a statement of why a school should be named after the person.

 

Board Policy states that a district facility be named for a deceased person who has attained prominence locally and/or nationally in the fields of education, science, art, statesmanship, political science, or military achievement; an early pioneer of the area encompassed by Goose Creek CISD or the state of Texas; or an outstanding president of the United States. The policy also says that students and other citizens shall be called upon to nominate persons representing all cultures that may be considered for school names.

 

Guidelines for naming facilities in Board Policy state that the nominee must have made a significant contribution to society or the school district, and the name should lend prestige and status to an institution of learning.

 

As part of the naming process, the Goose Creek CISD Board of Trustees will hold a Public Forum on February 7th. The forum will allow community members to present their suggestions for the naming of the new elementary as well as the Green Center, but all nominations received in writing will be considered by the board.

 

During the forum, presentations will be limited to three minutes per person, with no more than five individuals speaking per nomination. Board members may consider the name for the school at the February 21st Board meeting.

 

For more information, please contact the Goose Creek CISD Superintendent’s Office at 281-707-3418.
