Jndependent School District ADMINISTRATION OFFICES 400 School Street Elk River, MN 55330 728 kr8 1 3 ,s~ IMVIU M. FLANNERV Superintendent of Schools (6121241.7400 Fex (812) 241.9407 April 11, 1995 The Honorable Hank Duitsman City of Elk River P.O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330 Dear Mr. Duitsman: Please extend the appreciation of the Elk River Area School Board to the entire City Council. Our joint meeting was an opportunity to jointly discuss matters of concern to both of our constituencies. To recap some of our discussions: S We do feel that we have done all we can to support the proposed ice arena. The School District has donated the land for the facility and expects to support a long- term rental/lease agreement for ice time. We do see this as an opportunity for the School District and the City of Elk River to team up for the benefit of both of our constituencies. This project has the full support of the Elk River Area School Board. The DARE Program is another excellent example where cooperation between the City and the School District results in improved programs for all concerned. The improvement of the program with the addition of the secondary portion is an unqualified success. We support this initiative and await the results of efforts to gain the support of the other municipalities in our District. This item will be introduced into our budgeting process. Although there are many needs in the School District, it is my hope that this important initiative that was supported so wholeheartedly by the community in the building of the DARE house, will be seen as a high priority worthy of monetary support. We appreciate your efforts to develop along-range transportation plan and to allow us an opportunity to comment on it.
