White <br />Residential Neighborhoods Committee <br />South Bend Common Council <br />4th Floor, County-City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, CALLING FOR <br />THE CONTINUING USE OF ALL CURRENT SOUTH BEND PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS <br />AS HIGH SCHOOLS <br />Dear Chairwoman White: <br />As you know, there is currently under consideration proposals to close some South Bend <br />Community schools. Two of the proposals being considered involve closing one or two of the <br />current high schools. The South Bend Community School Corporation has invited public input. I <br />believe that the Residential Neighborhoods Committee and the entire Council should accepted this <br />invitation. <br />This proposed resolution raises unanswered questions about the current proposals which definitely <br />impact the best interests of teachers, students, families and neighborhoods. I don't believe that <br />these questions have adequately been considered. This proposed resolution urges the School <br />Corporation to refrain from making any final decisions until more questions are answered. The <br />proposed resolution also encourages the School Board to keep all the public high schools open as <br />high schools. <br />Please add this proposed resolution to your Committee's agenda for discussion on February 13, <br />2023 and consideration by the entire Council at its meeting later that night. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Sharon McBride, President <br />South Bend Common Council <br />227 W.Jefferson Blvd.Rm.441 Office:574)235-9321 FAX: (574)235-9173 <br />County-City Building Voicemail: (574)235-5981 TDD: (574)235-5567 <br />South Bend,IN 46601-1830 Email:SMCBRIDE@SOUTHBENDIN.GOV
