New School, New Name

Public school officials are looking to the public for help in naming Chatham’s newest elementary school.

The Lambton Kent District School Board is working on plans to consolidate John N. Given and Tecumseh Public School.

The Ad Hoc Naming committee has suggested keeping the Tecumseh name, since it has historical and local significance.

However, before any final decisions are made, the board would like to get some info from the public.

An online survey has been launched with submissions being accepted until October 27th.

Hard copies can also be picked up and dropped off at either of the affected schools or board offices in Chatham and Sarnia.

A report will be presented to trustees at the end of November. The survey can be found here.
