Background:
|
Andrew Douglas School is part of the 53206 Initiative, and as such is undergoing remodeling to become a state-of-the-art middle school within the 53206 zip code.
For the 2018-19 school year, Douglas staff and students were co-located inside of Keefe Avenue during the renovation. The Andrew Douglas building (3620 North 18th Street) will reopen for the 2019-2020 school year. In addition to the renovations, the school community feels that another way to contribute to a fresh new start for students, staff, and families at this location is a name change.
Consistent with Administrative Policy 5.01, stakeholders participated in a process to determine the proposed name of Andrew S. Douglas Middle School.
