Roseville Area Schools Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Maplewood, Roseville, Shoreview District 623 May 29, 1985 Mayor Michael I. Fahey 515 E. Little Canada Road Little Canada, MN 55117 Dear Mike: JAMES A. KLASSEN Director of Community Relations Again I wish to express my appreciation for the workshop which was held last evening. I share the concern of you and the Council regarding the proper utilization of the Kellogg High School site should it become a community center. I was particularly pleased at your encouragement to us that you would like to see the facility become a true community center. I appreciated the op- portunity to outline the problems that we would face in order to bring that about. Given sufficient lead time it is a viable option. I am sure that other options will also be looked at over the ensuing months. Throughout our deliberation on this matter I can assure you that we will maintain open dialogue with you, the Council and the citizens of Little Canada. As discussed last evening, I am sending you a copy of the current Philosophy and Goals for the Community School Services. These were originally adopted by the School Board in 1976 and were reaffirmed in October, 1980. I am also enclosing a copy of the Couniunity Education Rules which were adopted by the State Board of Education in 1976. As a school district we are obligated to follow these rules. I wish to thank Councilman Bill Blesener for his "working paper" on pos- sible wording for your proposed ordinance. I know that you are still troubled by the term "human services ". You might want to consider the term community services which we have used for the past several years in describ- ing our program. I will continue to research my literature to see if there are any additional recommendations which might be helpful to you. During the next 30 days, if there is any additional information which you need, please don't hesitate to call on me. I am sure that by working together we can come to a reasonable solution to the problem. I view this as a significant opportunity which in the long run will improve the quality of life for all of our citizens.
