( KMZA )--A committee will be formed to come up with suggestions for a new mascot for Nemaha Central USD 115.
With the combining of the Baileyville and Seneca Schools after the 2013-2014 school year, the school board this week discussed the process for selecting a new name, colors and mascot for the district.
A committee consisting of ten students and ten staff members will be selected to come up with suggested mascots for the board’s consideration.
The administration team will nominate a total of five students from each middle school/high school—one student from each grade, 7th-11th, to serve on the committee. Five staff members from each campus will also be selected to serve on the committee.
The board will decide the colors after the mascot is selected.
It was the consensus of the board that the name of the school should be the same as the name of the district---Nemaha Central.
Superintendent Darrel Kohlman addressed “preservation of the past” and possible ways this could happen. The board directed Kohlman and the other administrators to draft a proposal for this plan.
During a special board meeting last month, the USD 115 Board voted to close the Baileyville Junior/Senior High School at the end of the 2013-2014 school year. Students are to attend Seneca schools beginning with the 2014-2015 school year.
