AUBURN - The Auburn school board has set Jan. 7 as a deadline for making a decision on naming a school or other district facility in honor of Harriet Tubman. Board President Michelle Sedor made the announcement Tuesday night during the board's regular meeting. Sedor recalled none of the board members ever expressed opposition to naming something in honor of the Civil War heroine and their rejection of a recommendation last month to name the Auburn High School auditorium in her honor was actually a vote in favor of adopting other alternatives.
