The Oklahoma City School Board will consider new names for three schools named after Confederate generals when members meet Monday night.

Students who attend Lee, Jackson Enterprise and Stand Watie elementary schools researched and voted on the new names, which the district has declined to disclose.

Committees made up of community members, school staff and parents recommended two names for each school.

"I'm pleased that we followed a process that allowed input from the broader community and the communities that surround those schools," board member Mark Mann said Thursday.
