I agree.BACKUP MATERIAL FOR REF. GG Ref. GG of the agenda for the board meeting of April 13, 1989, states that Facilities and Transportation Services Unit personnel may recommend approval to name district facilities. Dorothy Eisenberg has been active in community development in Las Vegas since she, and her husband Paul, and their six children, first arrived in the early 1960's. She has been involved with environmental issues, social programs designed to help the needy, and issues concerning local government. In addition, she has been a motivating leader within the Las Vegas Jewish community. She continually gives of her time and energy for many worthwhile causes. More significantly, Dorothy Eisenberg has played a leading role in the educational development of Clark County. During the early 1970's, Dorothy played a pivotal role in developing the federally mandated school desegregation program. Dorothy took a leadership position during a time when such involvement was neither popular nor fashionable. She defied convention and became involved because she understood the significance of community participation in public education. Mrs. Eisenberg is a highly articulate, intelligent, and caring woman. She is an excellent role model for youth and has been a professional volunteer and activist for our entire community. As a tireless worker, she has supported community needs for child care, senior care, and improved transportation services. Her resume as a community service worker lists affiliations with numerous organizations: The Jewish Federation of Las Vegas, United Way, the League of Women Voters, the Nevada Wildlife Federation, and the Consumer Advisory Committee of Nevada Power. Traces of Dorothy's positive influence can be found all over southern Nevada on the social and political scene. As reported in The Nevadan Today September 11, 1988: "Dorothy Eisenberg made social change her career." Approval to name an elementary school in the Las Vegas attendance area, the Dorothy Eisenberg Elementary School, is recommended. Vernon Burk April 13, 1989
