“The review was extensive. The report and additional documentation regarding Dr. Hamlet’s experience and training led to a lengthy discussion. We asked Dr. Hamlet to explain the discrepancies, and he was able to clarify to our satisfaction the issues that arose regarding language, data and his employment experience. Dr. Hamlet is eager to move forward and so are we.

“In many ways, Pittsburgh has become a city of second chances. I’m asking everyone who has had concerns to allow someone to have a first chance – a chance to demonstrate what he can do. We ask everyone to join us in supporting Dr. Hamlet and the District’s mission to improve achievement for all students.”
