FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Hamden PTA Council will host a town-wide forum with Connecticut state legislators to discuss educational funding and tax reform, January 17, 2008, 7 PM in the Hamden Middle School cafeteria. The Hamden Middle School is located at 2623 Dixwell Ave, at Sanford Street.
State Representatives Brendan Sharkey, Peter Villano, Cameron Staples, Alfred Adinolfi and State Senators Martin Looney and Joseph Crisco will be in attendance. The forum will be moderated by past Hamden PTA Council Co-President, Joan Neckameyer.
“The Hamden PTA Council is hosting this forum because we want to ensure that our school system is adequately funded. Educational funding and property taxes are part of a three-dimensional puzzle of how to attract and keep Hamden residents, while providing the quality of education that current and prospective residents expect,” said Hamden PTA Council President, Marjorie Clark. “We need to have a conversation with our state representatives about how to find a sustainable solution to this puzzle.”
This forum is open to the general public and is in place of the regularly schedule Council meeting, which would have taken place on Thursday, January 3rd.
