this is a commendable group process, and I'm not sure not easy and not comfortable for all. Thanks for explaining the process, and summarizing the votes including conceptual commanalities.

Looking forward to the Vision team's proposal - very exciting!

Here is an update on the school name:


There were approximately 100 names submitted. All subscribers to this list were given an opportunity to weigh in on their three top choices.

Here are some observations:

16 people provided their top choices totaling 56 votes (for lack of a better word)
The concept of Regional/Community/Metro  was mentioned 21 times
The concept of Innovation/Creativity/Discovery was mentioned 13 times
The word "Keystone" was mentioned 11 times
The name "Mind Works" was mentioned 4 times
Several names were supported once or twice.
Some names that were mentioned once or twice embraced many of the topics above.

Next Steps.........

All material collected from the e-mail brainstorming exercise will be given to the vision team*. The vision team will study all the information and make a recommendation.

Peace,

Bill


*The vision team is a group I assembled in November that consists of members of the general planning teams. The vision team has aided me in setting some of the direction we have taken.
