In an era when school finance is a contentious issue, $300,000 is a lot of money for any school district's budget. The district said in a recently released report that if board trustees wish to change school colors and mascot, taxpayers will have to shell out a grand total of $1.3 million.

A few weeks ago, NEISD trustees voted to change the name of Robert E. Lee High School to Legacy of Educational Excellence, or LEE High school — That decision came in midst of a national debate on Confederate monuments.

In order for that to happen, new signage, scoreboard panels, wall logo plaques, banners and even stationary will have to change. And the Athletics Department will have the biggest cost at at $94,000.

The district is also planning to add a museum on campus to recognize the school's legacy with a cost of $15,000.
