RE:	Approval for Naming of New Northwest High School Gymnasium

As reported at the September 13, 2007 Board Meeting and pursuant to our procedure on the naming of schools (FDCA-P), a nomination form and accompanying support documents have been turned in for review and consideration regarding naming the new gymnasium at Northwest High School. The nomination is being brought forward by Mr. Stan Morgan and Mr. Randy Hunter, on behalf of the NW Gymnasium Committee and surrounding community, in honor of an individual.

The name being proposed for your consideration is:

Roger L. Nelson Gymnasium

After reviewing the materials and hearing from members of the public, the board voted to post the proposed name on the district Web site for a period of public comment and feedback. One public comment on the name has been received. The comment can be summarized as follows:

In favor of Roger Nelson Gymnasium

This is now being presented for your consideration and appropriate direction to staff.
