Task Force
As a result of shifting populations in Huntsville and in an effort to find ways to save money, the Huntsville City School Board commissioned a Joint Facility Utilization Task Force. Butler High School was determined to be operating at approximately 35% capacity. The recommendation of the task force was that the Huntsville City School system find a way to relocate ancillary school system activities to Butler. The task force made its recommendation for Butler and various other schools in the system and the Huntsville City Board of Education voted to adopt and approve the findings on September 2, 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words task and/or force:
“The difficult and risky task of meeting and mastering the new—whether it be the settlement of new lands or the initiation of new ways of life—is not undertaken by the vanguard of society but by its rear. It is the misfits, failures, fugitives, outcasts and their like who are among the first to grapple with the new.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
