A committee of approximately 23 residents of the Skinker-DeBaliviere area is being formed to seek ways and make recommendations to meet the educational needs of the area.
The committee was formed by the suggestion of the superintendent of schools, Clyde Miller, at a community meeting where he spoke Oct. 22nd.
As residents expressed their concerns about public education in the area, Mr. Miller stated that the Board and administrators were fully aware of the problems and wanted to seek ways to solve them. The committee, he suggested, was a way of securing community input into the Board of Education’s decisions.
Mr. Miller spoke at the invitation of the Washington Heights Neighbors’ former president Joyce Warren. He attended the October meeting at a time he was on vacation, traveling 100 miles to and from the meeting.
The committee was formed with the district superintendent, Charles Brasfield, the Hamilton PTA president, the Hamilton Principal and the executive director of the Council selecting members.
To be named to the committee will be two representatives from Rosedale-Skinker (including one parent), one from Parkview, two SDDC members, two from Washington Heights, three Hamilton School administrators, two teachers, the presidents of Hamilton’s PTA and Mother’s Club, two parents at large and five other at large members.
The committee is to seek community opinion through surveys or public hearings.
