Name Game in Carson

Paul Clinton writes about two groups who want the same name for their Carson charter schools: Millennium.

One of the groups would need to pick a different name, said Greg McNair, the chief administrative officer for LAUSD's charter school division.

"We will definitely try to convince them to change their names if they choose a name that is similar to an existing school," McNair said. "The person who will have to change is the person who comes in second in terms of getting the charter approved."

The New Millennium group plans to open in the fall with 150 ninth-graders. Backers haven't chosen a location but would rent space.

The Millennium High group plans to open in the fall with 215 ninth- and 10th-graders.
