The main two topics of discussion <br />are the School Street public improvement project scheduled for 1999 and the <br />city/school police liaison program. Other topics may include the recently <br />completed Area Learning Center facility, the Oak Knoll Park complex, and <br />the Ice Arena project. The district may also want to discuss with the council <br />its comprehensive plan for new facilities. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The School Street project should receive some discussion earlier in the <br />council meeting on 1/19, but the police liaison program may be a new issue to <br />Stephanie and Paul. By way of background, the school has historically paid <br />42 percent of the wages and benefits of the police officers that work in the <br />school district. This included the D.A.R.E. officer and the police liaison <br />officers. In 1997, the school requested the D.A.R.E. officer free of charge. <br />The city agreed to offer this employee free of charge to the school district, but <br />requested that the payment from the school district get closer to the actual <br />expenses for the two liaison officers. Recently Dr. Flannery requested that <br />the School Board increase its contribution to the two liaison officers to 50 <br />percent and this was rejected. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
