ɫ��ɫ

At the ɫ��ɫ Central School Board of Education meeting on November 20, the ɫ��ɫ Mascot Committee will present its nickname recommendation to the board.

Based on a unanimous decision, the committee will recommend “Legends” as the new nickname for the district. This recommendation follows survey results from ɫ��ɫ CSD students and the greater ɫ��ɫ community.  

The choice speaks to the honor, strength and spirit that have always represented the hard work of ɫ��ɫ’s teams, clubs, programs and student body, and aligns with the current district logo.

The Board of Education meeting will begin at 6 p.m. and be held in the District Office Board Room.

In April 2023, the New York State Board of Regents voted unanimously to approve new rules banning the use of Native American culture in schools. This regulation requires school districts which currently use indigenous team names, logos, and mascots to eliminate the use of all indigenous names, logos, or mascots by the end of the 2024-2025 school year. While the district adopted a Roman Warrior logo 20 years ago, the NYS Education Department determined that the term Warrior is still connected to the Native American culture, and must be replaced.
