BELMONT — How does Larry Ellison Elementary School sound? Or Electronic Arts Elementary? Does Max Keech School have a ring to it?

Those are names being bandied about for the new campus being built in Redwood Shores.

Last week, the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District board agreed to have the superintendent contact Ellison, EA and Keech to see if they are interested in having a campus named after them.

But trustees remain open to other names, board President Karen Clancy said Monday: “The idea is to have a process where the community has input, too.” A final list of possible names is still several months away, she said.

Ellison is the chief executive officer of software giant Oracle Corp, EA is a leading video-game company, and Keech is the developer of a residential project called The Preserve where the new school will be located. All three are based in Redwood Shores.

“I’d be proud to have my name on that school,” Keech said. “I’m proud of The Preserve and the school as part of the larger project.” As for his name being among the three that have surfaced so far, he said, “that’s pretty good company.” The three names came up last month when the New Shores School Advisory Committee discussed naming the school after a business or individual willing to provide a donation for that honor.

Clancy is not aware of any school named after Ellison, she said. But Nesbit Elementary School in Belmont has the Electronic Arts Community Learning Center, which was funded by a $250,000 grant from EA. An Oracle representative could not be reached Monday for comment.

Among the current criteria, the board can name a school or building after an individual who has made important contributions, locally or beyond, or after the geographic area where the campus is located.

The new school is being built near Shearwater Parkway and Monaco Drive. It is being funded by a $25 million bond measure voters approved in 2005 and is expected to open in August 2010.
