In the general elections to be held on April 6th, two places on the Board of Education will be filled. In the light of efforts made by citizens and taxpayers to make Hamilton school what it once was, a source of community pride and interest; efforts rebuffed and ignored by the school office, voters in this area might want to consider seriously the candidates for election to the Board of Education. The Board of Education, or the School Board, is responsible for setting policies under which the school office runs and the schools are adminstered.
As reported last month and in this issue, the Hamilton School P.T.A. is currently negotiating some improvements with the school office, with the enthusiastic support of residents of the neighborhood. It is late in the day to be negotiating. We will try and print an in-depth article on past and present neighborhood efforts for Hamilton school next month. Meanwhile as the candidates for the Board of Education are announced we urge local voters to study them carefully and to try to select candidates who will respond sincerely and promptly to citizen interest in our public schools.
If you are interested in the work of the Skinker-DeBaliviere citizens’ committee for Hamilton School, call the Council office, Vo. 2-5122, and you will be notified of the next meeting. Mrs. Chris Wright is the committee chairman.
