MEMO TO: Mounds View Communit. Ed ation Advisory Council 410 FROM: Bruce K . Anderson, l a c Parks, Recreation alp \ fe3tr�DATE: January 28 , 1986 RE : Long Range Facilities Usage Task Force Having had the opportunity to review the recommendations that will be passed on to the Mounds View School Board from the Long Range Facilities Usage Task Force I would like to propose the following statements be taken by the MVCEAC: 1 . I feel one of our main purposes is to represent the 70-74 percent of families within the School District that currently do not have school age children . 2 . Community education currently provides services to those households through programs such as ABCE , enrichment class offerings, senior citizen programs, computer training center , and early childhood/family education programs . • 3 . The Edgewood Community Center is currently serving over 6 , 000 resident visits per month to attend programs not directly related to the School District or community education , such as the emergency food shelf , commodities program, RAP , WIC , Ramsey County Health Center , Alcoholics Anonymous , cable TV access , Wilder Child Guidance branch and the NW Suburban Youth Service Bureau . 4 . Community education programs are currently funded through the State community education levy and early childhood levy along with program fees, and receives minimal support from the School District general fund . In reality, the community education programs currently subsidize the general fund in the amount of $220 , 000 - $240 , 000 for rental space at Edge- wood Community Center . 5 . Community education largely serves as the public relations tool for the School District, especially for those non K-12 families and plays an important role by in directly influenc- ing the K-12 curriculum.
