Dallas school named after Confederate general picks new name
The Dallas Morning News (http://bit.ly/1WFgTM3 ) reports that students at John B. Hood Middle School voted to change its name to Piedmont Global Academy on Monday.
Board President Eric Cowan proposed a policy change earlier this month that would make it easier to rename district facilities named for Confederate soldiers.
The proposal, which has since changed, would've removed the criterion of "military achievement" to consider naming facilities.
