Reply to comment by VAtenkara in Richmond school district to rename Binford, Cary, and Ginter Park for $150k. by Charlesinrichmond

>The three board members who voted against the name changes cited the cost, which can range from $25,000 to $50,000 per school.

Here's the real question. How is it this high? Is it just repainting some stuff and a sign by the road? Can we not just repaint with a new school name the next time things need routine repainting? And find a sign less grand for the road?

If it's anything like the Brightpoint(dumbest fucking name btw) renaming you have school branded shit everywhere that they have to change.

All the letterhead, signs, promotional materials, website, apparel, etc. have to be switched over and can add up quickly.

Brightpoint for example is still using furniture that has the John Tyler seal on it because they either didn't budget for replacing it too or just don't care.
