Madden hosts town hall-style meeting

A "town hall-style" meeting sponsored by John Madden in Springhill Thursday was an event with plenty of opinions, ideas and perspectives but seemingly no real answers.

Armed with facts and figures from the "Peabody Report," a six-month $565,000 comprehensive study, paid for by Madden Contracting, the main concern Madden seemed to express was that while expenses continue to rise, student test scores have dropped, student numbers continue to fall and therefore state funding.
