English to Spanish Other Education / Pedagogy name of school district in U.S.A.

Someone gave our school district an official name in Spanish: Metropolitan [City Name] Public Schools as: (las) Escuelas Públicas Metropolitanas de _____.

Well, now someone in the superintendent's office, who doesn't know Spanish--just a little bit--says it should be ____ Metropolitana, because "Metropolitan" is an adjective for the city. But the translation coordinator, originally from Colombia, doesn't like how it sounds. She said it should be: Escuelas Públicas del Área de _____, but the sup. office doesn't like adding "Área" to the name.

Another kink: Research shows that Metropolitan ______, according to the census, includes a LOT of surrounding towns and cities, from other counties. In case it helps any, the English name was shortened a long time ago. It used to be: Metropolitan Public Schools of [City Name and County Name]. In reality, the school district covers the county, which includes the main city and several surrounding cities that seem like part of the big city (certainly not what the census considers to be our metropolis). I suppose the definition of "metropolis" in regard to this city depends upon who is speaking and the context--a normal person, the census, government, etc.

We finally decided to use Escuelas Públicas de ____ Metropolitana (because una ciudad es femenina and "Metropolitan" serves as a modifier for the city). But now someone else says we should say: Escuelas Públicas de la Metrópoli de _____. There's another native speaker (from the Dominican Republic) who doesn't like to use the word "metrópoli." I also was thinking, if we use the word "metrópoli," we wouldn't use the word "de" after it (Escuelas Públicas de la Metrópoli ___), because that could make it seem like "the metropolis of ___," or in other words, the metropolis within the larger region (state, I suppose). But there are several "metrópolis" in our state. I know people say it with or without the "de," though, so it probably isn't that big of a deal, whether we include it or not.

So now the issue still is not settled, even though we thought we had made the official change. The translation coordinator doesn't like any options we've come up with, because of meaning and how they sound. What do other native Spanish speakers say?
