 We are planning for the future and need your help!

The Hillsborough Township Public Schools are looking to parents, staff, community members, and business owners for help in the development of a five year Strategic Plan to support the goals of the district's nine township schools.
To ensure that all community members have a voice in planning for the future of the school district, we will hold a series of four meetings to solicit input and help shape the plan. These meeting will each last approximately 90 minutes and all community members are invited to attend one, two, or more meetings. Discussions at the meeting will focus on district direction, resources, priorities, and focus. The district steering committee will take public input from these meetings and use it to help finalize the district's strategic plan.
Public meetings have been scheduled for the Auten Road Intermediate School cafeteria for the following dates:
Tuesday, October 6, 2015 at 7:00pm
Wednesday, October 21 at 7:00pm
Wednesday, November 18 at 7:00pm
