OKLAHOMA CITY -
The Oklahoma City Public School Board unanimously approved to change the name of three schools named after Confederate generals.
Here are the following name changes:
- Lee Elementary School will become Adelaide Lee
- Jackson Enterprise Elementary will become Mary Gold Ross
- Stand Watie Elementary will become Esperanza
District officials estimated that it will cost more than $40,000 to remove the names from all three elementary schools.
An Oklahoma attorney has offered to pay for the name changes.
News 9’s Christy Lewis will have more on this tonight at 10 p.m.
