School board trustees have announced F.D. Roosevelt Public School in London, Ontario, will be renamed, attributing the decision to the former U.S. president’s history.

Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) said on March 28 that trustees had voted to change the name of the school at a board meeting that day. The school will be renamed Forest City Public School.
