( KMZA )--New mascot suggestions for when the Nemaha Valley and B & B schools combine at the end of next school year will be accepted from patrons until August 1st.
The Nemaha Central USD 115 Board of Education made that decision during their meeting Monday evening.
Suggestions can be submitted to Superintendent Darrell Kohlman at the USD 115 office in Seneca until August 1st.
A committee comprised of students and staff from each building will then narrow down the list of mascot suggestions to five by October 1st for presentation to the board.
The board at their regular October meeting will further reduce the suggestions to two, with a final selection up to a vote by the 6th-10th grade student population at each school.
The new mascot selected will be for the 2014-2015 school year.
The USD 115 board voted in March to close the B & B Junior-Senior High School at the end of the 2013-2014 school year, and send all students to Nemaha Valley schools in Seneca.
The board also voted Monday evening to offer the B & B facility—including the west parking lot, detached shop building and gym—to Highland Community College for $500,000.
The college has proposed creating a regional technical education center at the facility.
