The battle over the name of a school could come to an end Thursday night in Kanawha County.
Eyewitness News has been told that two Kanawha County Board of Education members will change their votes, changing the name of the new West Side Elementary to Mary C. Snow Elementary at a meeting Thursday evening.
Snow was Kanawha County's first African American principal after schools were integrated, and many in the community have rallied for West Side Elementary to be named in her honor.
Board members originally voted against changing the name, but it has been put back on the agenda for Thursday night.
