Community member urges board to mark 150th Middletown City school anniversary
Summary
Lee Tillman asked the board to recognize and celebrate what they identified as the 150th anniversary of local schools (referred to as Hilltown Mutuals), urging the board to use the milestone for community engagement.
Community member Lee Tillman asked the Board of Education to acknowledge and celebrate what she described as the 150th anniversary of the local school system (referred to in her remarks as Hilltown Mutuals). Tillman said a yearbook and an informal local historian supported the anniversary claim and urged the board to plan commemorative events.
"I'm here to draw your attention to our 100 and fiftieth anniversary of Hilltown Mutuals," Tillman said, asking the board to create an opportunity to engage the community and recognize past students and staff. Tillman referenced a local unofficial historian, James Stivers, and said yearbook evidence suggested the anniversary was accurate; she asked the board to consider formal recognition.
Board members thanked Tillman for the suggestion. No formal action or timeline was set during the meeting, and the board did not vote on a commemoration plan at this session.
