Hollywood meeting today to consider city-run charter school

The City of Hollywood will hold a Special City Commission Meeting on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. in the City Commission Chambers at City Hall, 2600 Hollywood Boulevard, to discuss whether the City should move forward with seeking a Charter from the Broward County School Board to operate a city-run charter school.

“When I was sworn in as Mayor, I vowed to make education a top priority,” says Hollywood Mayor Peter Bober.  “While Hollywood has some excellent schools, there is a perception that the educational opportunities in Hollywood are sub-par.  A Charter School could be one step toward offering more options for families and changing outdated perceptions.”  The meeting will include information from City of Hollywood Staff along with the ity Manager of Pembroke Pines, Charlie Dodge, about Charter School programs. Additionally, the public will have an opportunity to comment on whether the City of Hollywood should apply for a charter.

For additional information or media inquiries, please contact Raelin Storey, Public Affairs Director at (o) 954.921.3098 or (c) 954.812.0975.
