Open Quote Send your children to the public school where they will get a quality education. HOPE for Hyndman cannot get it together after they hired their new CEO from Erie. He doesn’t appear to care about anything or anyone but himself and recognition. Many families left this school , as we did, to better our kids’ educational needs and future. The ceo got rid of the best teachers and several others chose to leave. What does that tell you ? Be wise and put your children first. Don’t send them. It was our mistake and we regret it!
