Knox School Board Members Aggravated by Inconsistent School Colors

Confusion over school colors has led to frustration for some Knox School Board members. During Monday’s meeting, member Wendy McIntire called for the board to make a definitive decision, saying the situation is currently a free-for-all. “I’m a little aggravated when you can’t even tell that that’s our team on a lot of it,” she said. “We’ve got black. We’ve got navy. We’ve got gray. We’ve got red. We’ve got white. I don’t know.”

Superintendent Dr. William Reichhart reminded board members that he asked about the colors when he first interviewed for the job, and they couldn’t give a clear answer. School officials noted that the issue has come up a few times in the past several years, and it had been determined that the colors are supposed to be red and white, with navy blue limited to an accent color.

Reichhart agreed to look into the issue. He also joked that maybe it could be included as part of the corporation’s upcoming facilities study.
