The Amarillo ISD Board of Trustees is holding a meeting Monday, January 22, at 6 p.m. to discuss and possibly take action regarding the re-naming of Robert E. Lee Elementary School.
The controversy over the naming of schools after the Confederate General first started on August 22, 2017 in Amarillo.
That is when we reported a man emailed Amarillo Independent School District wanting Robert E. Lee Elementary’s name changed.
According to the City of Amarillo, this school was opened in 1951, 81 years after General Lee died.
