From:Julie Trude To:City of Mounds View 5116195 at 15:52:12 <br /> Donna Nelson noted that there is a need by families in crisis for services to be <br /> available for their preschool as well as school-age children. It would be helpful for <br /> these families to have services close to where they live. She suggested kindergarten <br /> overflow space at an Edgewood site for the two elementary schools might meet the <br /> needs of certain families who would also draw on other programs available at the <br /> site for their preschoolers. <br /> Activity needs of local students was discussed. Penny Howard noted that many <br /> Edgewood students arrive before school and stay hours after even when they are not <br /> involved in activities. Donna Nelson noted that the same occurs at Pinewood and <br /> in the summer many children continue to come to school because it is a pleasant and <br /> safe place. However, there is no one responsible for all of these children who come <br /> to Pinewood during these non-school times. <br /> The next meeting was set for Thursday May 18, 7 p.m. at Edgewood School. Nick <br /> Tomali will arrange for John Ostlund to discuss physical space needs of programs <br /> and possible expansion space at Edgewood. The committee will prioritize a list of <br /> wants and needs for this space. Nick Tomali will present an early education <br /> concept paper. <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 6:35 p. m. <br /> Submitted by <br /> Julie Trude <br /> -2- <br />
