RES 1252 06/24/2003 RESOLUTION NUMBER 16
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CIBOLO URGING THE SCHERTZ-CIBOLO-
UNIVERSAL CITY INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO
RECONSIDER ITS POLICY OF NAMING SCHOOL FACILITIES FOR PERSONS STILL
LIVING AND TO INCLUDE "CIBOLO" IN THE NAME OF THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
WHEREAS, naming a school facility for a person posthumously is a fitting tribute to the
memory of that individual which will survive public scrutiny, and
WHEREAS, naming a school facility for a person still living may promote cronyism,
aggrandizement, a sense of entitlement, along with possible embarrassment should that
person commit an indiscretion in the future, and
WHEREAS, the true nature and scope of an individual's accomplishments are not fully
realized until many years after their service to the organization is complete, and
WHEREAS, nothing inspires hometown pride in Texas more than a high school named for
the hometown,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Cibolo supports a change
in school district policy on the naming of school facilities for persons still living and to
include "Cibolo" in the name of the new high school.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 24th day of June, 2003.
