Public Meeting on a Lee Name Change

TYLER – Tyler school trustees will discuss changing the name of Robert E Lee High School at their June 7th meeting. The school board met Monday to discuss the cost of changing the names of Tyler’s two main high schools. School board president Rev. Fritz Hager, Jr., said two trustees submitted a request to place changing Robert E. Lee’s name on the agenda for May. In a prepared statement, Hager said, “Per our board policy, I exercised my authority to delay the item until after school ended and graduation was complete. Accordingly, the item is currently scheduled for our June 7 meeting, which I have directed the Superintendent to move to an evening meeting that will include public comment.”
