CONNIE HINDMARSH HAS BEEN UNFAIRLY TREATED

Connie Hindmarsh, director of the Norfolk Public Schools Performing Arts Repertory, does not deserve the unfair treatment she has been receiving. She is an outstanding, talented director and has produced fabulous shows, all of which my family and I have thoroughly enjoyed.

I have known Connie for many years. She is very dedicated and has always promoted the best interests of her students. The Repertory would not be the same without her exemplary leadership. She should be given fair, not biased, judgment and restored to her position.
