Town Hall Meeting Recap
January 18, 2012
Last night's town hall meeting was a continuation of Superintendent Butler's platform of remaining transparent and being a good steward of the taxpayers' money. The forum was informative and we appreciate the citizens' attendance and their interest in the school system. We are pleased to provide the PowerPoint presentation that was shared so that everyone will be better informed about the achievements we have made and the challenges we must meet. The presentation is available at this link. Superintendent Butler welcomes your questions or comments. Please feel free to contact her via e-mail at martha.butler@hamiltonfl.com or by phone at 792-7800.
