A suburban New Jersey school district is mulling over a potential name change for one of its elementary schools, to honor President Donald Trump. As one might imagine, the proposal has led to heated debate among members of the school board and residents in the community. The idea was first introduced by Robert Scales, a member of the Colts Neck Township Board of Education in Monmouth County.
Scales asked the board to create an exploratory committee to examine what changing the name of the school would entail. He then stated that the committee would look into the potential costs and determine “what lines, if any, could be crossed by naming a school after a president.” If the proposal passes, it would see Conover Road Primary School changed to President Trump’s name.
