BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) \u2014 The Bakersfield City School District is inviting the public to submit ideas for a new name for Cesar Chavez Elementary School.<\/p>\n

In a letter to the community, district officials said they are committed to a thoughtful, respectful, and inclusive process \u2014 one that values community input while preserving the strong ties many families and students have to the school.<\/p>\n
Proposed names must follow district policy and include a written explanation of their significance.<\/p>\n
The deadline to submit recommendations is 4 p.m. on May 22. A link to the submission form is available on the district’s website at bcsd.com.<\/p>\n
