Board votes to change school names
12/1/2022, 6 p.m.
The Richmond Public School board voted during its Nov. 21 meeting to change three elementary schools’ names: John B. Cary and Ginter Park Elementary schools and Binford Middle schools. Cary, Lewis W. Ginter and James H. Binford the schools’ namesakes all were Confederate soldiers in the Civil War.
Superintendent Jason Kamras said he will set a timeline and get back to the school board regarding next steps of the name change. A public comment period will be set, giving the public an opportunity to suggest new names for the schools.
