We are requesting time on the agenda of the City Council to present this concept to the councilmembers and gain their preliminary approval . For the information of the Council , we have presented this proposal to the School Board at six community meetings and at the April 16 Board of Education Meeting. It was referred to their Committee of the Whole for discussion. The proposal has been endorsed by 9 of the district councils, the Urban Coalition, AFSCME Council 14, the St. Paul Federation of Teachers, the Trades & Labor Assembly. Because we feel strongly that the products of the public schools affect every aspect of life in St. Paul , we feel strongly that all elected bodies should be involved in this futuristic look at our institution. We have two speakers: Judy Brown and Pat Lindgren. Please call Pat at 296-5398 to inform of the date of our appearance on the agenda. Thank you. . �� Patricia Lindgren Ad Hoc St. Paul Education 2000 Working Group cc: Judy Brown, Co-Chair Connie Lewis, Co-Chair � � % ,� � ��: : � , ; , T0: Constituencies who have a stake in St. Paul and thelSt. Pdul Public Schools FROM: Ad Hoc St. Paul Education 2000 Working Group RE: AN INYITATION....... I � � Join other citizens including elected officials and representatives ,Qf�.a. _ wide variety of organizations as we create a first-of-it -kind discussion o�n`�' � ' the future of our St. Paul Public Schools to make recom�ndations on a broad ` spectrum of issues that will help us meet the challenges �facing the youth of the next century. i The charge to all of us is to thinkthrougFr and talk about what St. Paul needs for its future, the role education should play in d veloping the skills needed for that future, the impacts of life-long learning, the "school culture° and form of governance we must adopt to reach our goals. A major benefit to all participants (and the groups they represent) will be he on-going opportunity to understand the way our city and our commun'ty are constr.uc'ted, the importance of education in setting our city's agenda nd fi�e constraints we impose on our businesses and our neighborhoods by the ki1Ys and abilities we fail to develop. i Enclosed is a description of the St. Paul Education OOO Commission and its composition. As you consider the selection of a repr sentative(s) for your group, we strongly encourage you to remember the followin : . t : 1) . Preference should be given to thoughtful peoplelwho are residents of the City of St. Paul . �� 2). In considering the face of our future, minoritylrepresentation and gender balance should be high priorities initrying to attain a model of what our city is becoming. 3). Using a democratic process �orthe selection of our rep- resentative(s) will hopefully result in a broad base of support for our resulting recommendations. � , 4). Your representative(s) will be expected to provi e an on-going, 2-way communication link between the 2 00 Go�nission and your group. 5). To the extent that the members are visionaries w o are able to escape the bounds of tradition and current co straints, the resulting recommendations will be the revolu ionary changes that the City may desperately need in 10 years. j We thank you for your interest; the enthusiasm for th s proposal has fueled our interest in pushing this Co�nission. We are willing t meet with your group to answer any questions you may have. Contact: Connie Le is at 221-0550 or Pat Lindgren at 224-3137. i i i i � , •-,- . (� �� y�� .� ST.
