While funding remains in question, members of Hamilton County’s state legislative delegation say they’re committed to moving forward with improvements to public education.
Legislators, school board members and county and city officials met with parents Wednesday morning at Hixson Middle School for a forum hosted by the Hamilton County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations.
Most of the conversation was shaped by questions from area parents, who wondered about test scores, funding and parent involvement in local schools.
Officials all assured parents of their commitment to public education.
“There has been a real concerted effort to address the educational deficiencies we have in the state of Tennessee,” said Sen. Bo Watson, R-Hixson.
