Trustees say they're ready to once again talk about stripping the names of Confederate generals and politicians from Dallas public schools following the outbreak of white nationalist violence last weekend.

Board President Dan Micciche posted on social media late Tuesday night that DISD has seen an outpouring of calls for the district to rename such schools following the violence that left a woman dead in Charlottesville, Va.

"There is no place for the violence and hatred we saw on display this weekend," Micciche wrote in a Facebook post. He later added, "I believe the board will strongly support the renaming of schools that honor Confederate generals under either the current process or an expedited process."

At least one petition now making the rounds asks trustees to rename two schools. Trustees will discuss renaming the campuses during a briefing on Sept. 14.

Dallas now has at least four elementary campuses named after men who fought for or worked for the Confederacy during the Civil War largely fought over slavery: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston and John H. Reagan.

“I do not think any child should have to go to a school named after someone who oppressed other people,” trustee Bernadette Nutall said Wednesday.

The question is how the district might go about changing the names.

Currently, district policy requires that recommendations for the renaming of facilities be received from the school community, including a member of the school's PTA, an administrator and at least one person from the school's site-based decision-making committee. That committee is made up of parents, professional staff and community members.

The proposal must be submitted before April 1 each calendar year. Trustees review renaming proposals in early May, with a vote taking place in June.

Some want change sooner.

Trustee Miguel Solis was among the first calling for Dallas to renew its effort to change the names of schools honoring Confederates, calling for action in a tweet on Sunday. In an interview Monday, he pressed for urgency.

"When you make kids walk into schools that invoke a dark time, that is not OK," Solis said. ​"If there is one institution to teach about progress, it is schools."​

"We have talked around this issue enough at Dallas ISD."​

Nutall represents the part of the school district where students pushed last year to have the name John B. Hood Middle School dropped from their campus. The Hood name had adorned the building since it opened in 1955 to an all-white student body.

Hood is now heavily Hispanic. The Dallas school district is overwhelmingly a majority-minority district with about 70 percent of students Hispanic and about 22 percent black. About 5 percent of DISD students are white.

Most Hood students agreed that the Confederate general’s support of slavery wasn’t appropriate. Some sought to preserve the Hood name because of tradition. But 63 percent of Hood students voted in favor of a name change. The board approved changing it to Piedmont G.L.O.B.A.L. Academy.

Nutall said that she is fully supportive of considering changing the names of other schools named after Confederates. But she wants the process to be inclusive, as it was at Hood.

Nutall said the process then involved the “alumni, teachers, students, parents, talking about the history of John B. Hood, and what it meant going from the old to the new.”

Trustee Joyce Foreman said that the violence in Virginia presents a "a great opportunity for us to take a thoughtful look at the process to change the names."

But she, too, pointed at the Hood name change as a good model, taking into account the voices of the school community.

"I certainly don't want to force a name onto a community," she said. "I want buy-in."

No matter what policy the board adopts, controversies over school names are likely to continue to pop up just as they have in the past.

In 1999, families successfully pushed to have a campus named after Confederate president Jefferson Davis to Barbara Jordan Elementary, an African-American congresswoman from Texas.

And Foreman said that she's been approached by several constituents about one of the schools now in the part of the district she represents: William H. Atwell Law Academy, a middle school. Atwell was an outspoken segregationist while on the federal bench, openly defying higher court rulings and obstructing desegregation efforts in the late 1950's.

Foreman said she hopes that the district will first deal with Confederate names "with an expedient process," and then revisit other potentially objectionable school names in due time.
