3.1. Open Public Hearing: Petitions Proposing District Name Change (See 1.5)
Rationale:

A District Naming Advisory Committee was tasked  by the board with creating a process for community outreach and solicitation of new names for the Dixie School District and recommending names to the Board.  Petitions from the committee were formally submitted to the district on June 25th, with the following names:  Creekside Elementary School District, Laurel Creek Elementary School District, and Kenne Elementary School District.  

Independent of the District Naming Advisory Committee, the district also received a petition from the community to change the name of the school district to Miller Creek Elementary School District.  

The four petitions to change the name of the school district were submitted to the Marin Count Department of Elections who verified the the petitions meet the legal standard of at least 15 qualified signatures.

 Dr. Yamashiro verified that none of the four names submitted are currently in use by any other school district in California.

The Board will discuss and take possible action to change the name of Dixie Elementary School.
