It is <br />our hope that with the excitement of the new school year, that we can create and <br />formalize a mechanism for better public dialogue between members of the South <br />Bend Common Council, the school superintendent, school trustees of the South Bend <br />Community School Corporation Board of Trustees, their committees and/or their <br />representatives; as well as with other non-public school officials operating schools within the <br />City of South Bend. <br />As noted in the attached articles, there are many positive benefits to regular and ongoing <br />dialogue among elected officials representing public schools, local government officials and <br />community residents. Some of these noted benefits include: <br />• By bridging the fields of education and urban policies, it helps create equitable, <br />diverse and livable cities and schools <br />• By creating connections between cities and schools, it helps foster a <br />collaborative environment for public schools, local government, community <br />leaders, and neighborhood residents help to achieve goals which embrace public <br />policy, urban planning and quality educational practices <br />• "Connecting schoolwork to fun, engaging activities -like community planning <br />brainstorming - is important", Center for Cities & Schools, Fall Forum 2005, <br />School as Center of Community: How Emeryville is Transforming its Schools <br />and City Policies by Placing Education at the Heart of Redevelopment, p.12. <br />The proposed new language in the attached ordinance is underlined. It would be <br />codified into Section 2-10(i)(3) of the South Bend Municipal Code which addresses <br />the eleven (11) standing committees of the South Bend Common Council. <br />
