26-275 : School Board Resolution-Requesting Charter Review Commission to Rename Park District

The Buffalo Board of Education is requesting that the City Charter Review Commission rename the Park District, which is currently one of the six Board of Education seats representing South Buffalo. The term "Park District" causes confusion among voters, parents, and caregivers regarding which subdistrict it represents. The resolution, introduced by Erik Bohen, seeks to change the name to the South District to align with its geographic representation and reduce confusion. This change would be enacted through a local law by the Common Council, as defined by NYS Education Law Section 2553(10)(b).
