The hearings mark an important milestone in the district's community-driven naming process, which seeks to ensure school names reflect the values, history and identity of the Madison community.
Community members have through Tuesday, April 29, to submit renaming proposals for the elementary schools.
The submission period marks the first step in a multi-phase process that includes community input, committee review and final consideration by the Board of Education.
