In tonight's Alachua County School Board meeting the board approved a name change for an elementary school after growing public pressure.
J.J. Finley Elementary School, named after a Civil War General, will be renamed.

The board also approved the process to select a new name.
A renaming committee will hold at least two meetings and face a deadline of July 27 to recommend a new name.
