After protesting at the May board meeting, Rhonda Ogletree went before the board on June 12 outlining all the work Chris Hand has put into Dadeville High School. She said rather than present her petitions she would like them to understand not renewing Hand's contract was a huge mistake.

During Monday’s Tallapoosa County Board of Education meeting, Rhonda Ogletree went before the board regarding Chris Hand’s non-renewed contract. 

As a Dadeville parent, she made an online petition regarding the decision, and it reached 1,500 signatures in four days. Signatures came in from New York to Hawaii, which she believes are former students of Hand’s. She drafted a paper petition, which was passed around the community.
