REGULAR MEETING JULY 27, 2015 <br />This <br />Those <br />given an <br />speak in <br />✓e bill, proponents and <br />William Sniadec ool Board her, 215 S. St. Joseph, South Bend — The only reason I am <br />here tonight is to en e the rt of this resolution. Five (5) years ago, 2.0 was presented, <br />it went through a full co er a year of study. It went through the committee and working <br />sessions to come up with st possibility for all of our kids. A lot of things the committee is <br />proposing is already our policy but is not enforced by our administration. The first year we did <br />the study tables it went great. It was when study tables were eliminated which I was unaware, is <br />when things started to go downhill. Make it a resolution for 24 -31 and like another policy 24 -30 <br />was for all extra - curricular activities to make grades as we couldn't discriminate against just <br />football players. Similar to having a drivers' license, it is a privilege but not a right. You need to <br />pass a test to drive, this is the same way it should be for playing sports. I was trying to come up <br />with a compromise, I think I did today. I would like to encourage everyone today, this is a <br />community problem. My Facebook out of 197 likes were against lowering our standards. A lot <br />of news stations were all similar on their post. After my article, I got at least 40 emails, over 100 <br />calls that everyone was against lowering our standards. What I propose is to keep our 2.0 <br />throughout 0-12th grade and if you are under 2.0 you have to go to study tables. As long as you <br />are in study tables and showing improvements you should be allowed to play ball. <br />Jessie Davis, P.O. Box 10205, South Bend, IN — I'm sure we all remember the catch phrase that <br />we saw all over television, "the mind is a terrible thing to waste;" that stands so true. If you relax <br />23 <br />
