Telephone: 919-732-8126 FAX: 919-732-8120 Please note that the relocation of the support services staff from Hillsborough Elementary School is a temporary;solution to a problem that requires a long-term solution;i.e.,the construction of permanent additional office space at a central location. While we have developed a plan to house these employees until 2004-2005, this plan is not a suitable long-term solution. We appreciate the cooperative spirit consistently demonstrated by you and your staff, as well as the Board of County Commissioners,as we work together to make these capital improvements. Thank you for your help.
