The individual School Board members would be answerable to the local community electorate in the next election if they make major mistakes in judgment. However, there may well be an established protocol for new school naming, possibly involving specific approval by local district constituents in some form, of which I am unaware.

The San Francisco School Board members seem to like the idea of doing whatever they want to do . . . shortly after they are elected . . . and without much Brown Act accountability to the public for their actions. Hence, the appointment of a Renaming of Schools Panel to recommend school name changes in conformity with Guiding Principles authorized by either the "blue ribbon" Panel themselves or the members of the School Board who appointed the Panel.

Democracy at work.
