>>It takes a half a million bucks to change the name?

Just think of all the places where a school’s name is seen inside the school. Changing all that can get expensive.

How do they calculate $500,000 to change it?

What do they need to do?

Update phone directories, official school forms, stick a new sign out in front of the school? What else? How do all of these things combined add up to half a million??? Seems excessive.

From the article: “Vitti said a study done in 2008, when the board last voted against changing the name, estimated the costs at $570,000, but Vitti said he’s unsure of the costs now.”
