A birthday present for Arnold

No, it wasn't a state budget, a health care plan or a new environmental policy for the governor, who turned 60 on Monday.

But, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was told the CHIME Charter Elementary School in Woodland Hills was renaming itself after the one-time bodybuilder and actor.

CHIME school officials said the decision was made because of the governor's commitment to education.

"I am honored to have a high-quality institution like CHIME Charter Elementary named in my honor. The CHIME Institute shares my commitment to educating all children," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.

No word on whether there will be any official ceremony to mark the change. CHIME was named "Charter School of the Year" by California Charter School Association in 2005 and in the same year was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a leading model of inclusive education.
