PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.-
Some Bay District School Board members have a problem with the proposed name for a new elementary school–Breakfast Point Academy.
The new school is located on land donated by the St. Joe Foundation, which wants to name it after a nearby subdivision.
But Newly board members Pat Sabiston and Ginger Littleton questioned the name in a discussion about the new school Wednesday night.
“Pat and I want to know what the mascot is going to be,” Littleton asked. “The Croissants,” Sabiston answered. Board attorney Franklin Harrison suggested “The Biscuits.”
Sabiston said middle school students have enough angst without having to worry about the name of their school.
It was the academy part of the name that bothered board member Johnny Brock, who said the title struck him as incorrect for a public school.
The board will make a final decision on the new name at a future meeting.
