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:
“We must not leap to the fatalistic conclusion that we are stuck with the conceptual scheme that we grew up in. We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself. The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Awareness of the stars and their light pervades the Koran, which reflects the brightness of the heavenly bodies in many verses. The blossoming of mathematics and astronomy was a natural consequence of this awareness. Understanding the cosmos and the movements of the stars means understanding the marvels created by Allah. There would be no persecuted Galileo in Islam, because Islam, unlike Christianity, did not force people to believe in a “fixed” heaven.”
—Fatima Mernissi, Moroccan sociologist. Islam and Democracy, ch. 9, Addison-Wesley Publishing Co. (Trans. 1992)
