When Moline’s Hamilton school re-opens next Fall, it will still be called Hamilton Elementary. Crews continue to work on the expansion and renovation of the building on 7th Street.
The school district says a committee reviewed the results of a survey for people to rank five suggested names. Even though "Orchard Park" was the most popular, the committee concluded there wasn't a concensus in favor of a new name. Members decided to recommend keeping the name "Hamilton," saying the comments in the survey showed people prefer not changing the name of the elementary.
