Discussion:
1st option: Appeal process: appeal would need to be in by September 1st
2nd option: Remove spear and feather / keep "Warriors" The board's rationale for keeping the Warrior name is due to the word "warrior: being non-specific and is defined as: brave, experienced soldier; person who shows great vigor or courage, and sacrifices self for the good of others. The board voted to remove the spear and feather based on the Minnesota State Legislature's law passed on the use of Native American mascots in public schools. |
