Colton school board takes no action on renaming new high school in Grand Terrace

As an overflow crowd waited, the Colton School Board failed to take action Thursday night to rename the new high school in Grand Terrace. The board deadlocked 3-3 on a motion to place the matter on the agenda for a vote at the next meeting. Board member David Zamora was absent. More than 300 people showed up to urge the board to change the name to Grand Terrace High School. The board voted 6-1 in March to name the school after former trustee Ray Abril Jr. going against the wishes of many Grand Terrace residents.
