STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) - With the first day of classes rapidly approaching, Stamford's newest elementary school is set to open the new school year without an official name.

The Advocate reports the school will be known by the temporary name of New School at 200 Strawberry Hill when it first opens its doors to students on Sept. 1.

A statement issued by the school board said they are more concerned with having the school and its staff prepared than figuring out a name.

Stamford's NAACP chapter has advocated for naming the school after Jackie Robinson. Robinson, famous for breaking Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, was a Stamford resident later in life until his death in 1972.

School board officials say they won't consider any names for at least a few months.
