South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting –March 6, 2009 <br /> <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT.) <br /> <br /> D. Airport Economic Development Area <br /> <br />(1) Discussion of New Tech High School. <br /> <br />Wilson responded that it would not be. This <br />will be much broader, more like what is used <br />for high school magnet programs---open to <br />any student interested in participating. Mr. <br />Kapsa said that in the models they visited, <br />many of the students that participated were <br />students who were bight, but had been turned <br />off by traditional schools. Mayor Luecke <br />said that the students he observed were <br />representative of the student body as a whole. <br />It won’t be an exclusive school. <br /> <br />Mayor Luecke addressed the question of why <br />it is appropriate to use TIF funds for a <br />school. First is shows a great partnership <br />between city and school corporation. <br />Practically, over many years, TIF districts <br />have siphoned funds away from schools. It <br />seems like a fair payback. <br /> <br />Mayor Luecke noted that the Redevelopment <br />Commission is not expected to decide <br />whether the New Tech High School will <br />open in August 2009. The school <br />corporation has decided to try to accomplish <br />that. They will proceed down that timeline <br />until they reach an obstacle that prohibits it. <br />If that happens, they will change their focus <br />to opening in August 2010. The Commission <br />is being asked to make its commitment to <br />help the school corporation move toward <br />opening August 2009. <br /> <br /> Mr. Damico wanted to address questions as <br />to the appropriateness of the Marycrest <br />Building for the school. Preliminary reports <br /> 23 <br /> <br />
