The question of whether or not to rename the Columbus Elementary School had many residents tuning in the most recent School Committee meeting. The discussion, however, was pushed back to early March. “Clearly people thought we might be changing it,” member Pauline Van der Kloot said during the Feb. 8 meeting, in reference to e-mails and letters she and other members received in favor and against a change and the many people tuned in to the meeting.

No decisions will be made March 10 either. Rather, opinions will be heard as a prelude to forming a study committee. “Hopefully, we can put together a structure in which people can work collaboratively,” Superintendent Marice Edouard-Vincent said. “We are one district. We don’t want to divide the community. This is a chance to come together and have a productive conversation.”
