The unanimous decision was made by the board of the school's district following a proposal from students and parents at the school who believe in the values and causes championed by the former first lady.
The Wilson Elementary School in Richmond will be renamed as Michelle Obama Elementary School when it reopens later this year, making it the first school in Northern California to be named after the former first lady, the school's district confirmed.
The school, which was formerly named after Woodrow Wilson , will be the second school in California to be named after Obama, the school district notes, with the other being in Panorama City in Southern California. The school, which has around 430 students from kindergarten to the sixth grade, is slated to reopen in August in time for the 2020-2021 school year, the East Bay Times reports.
