Maurice Ferret Mayor
City of Miami
Dear Mayor Ferre:
In a time such as the one that we are experiencing now, it
is extremely important that both the community and the
muncipal governmental entity work closely together to maxi-
mize all of its resources to serve as many people, as
possible. One way, I feel, as the Chairman of the Dade
County Community School Council, that we can meet this ob-
jective of integrating governmental and community resources
to meet our citizens' needs is through the Community School
Program*
At a recent City of Miami Commission meeting, you and the
other Commissioners voted to discontinue your allocation of
monies(help)to the Dade County Public Schools to support the
Community School Program in the City of Miami.
The members of the Community School Council are more than
willing to support the efforts of both the Dade County Public
Schools and The City of Miami to decrease the Community Schools'
dependence upon Government funding from the City of Miami, but
this, w, 111 VLake a period of time to accomplish.
Meanwhile, we believe that all people of all ages have a right
to use "their" public schools. And we feel that public educat-
ion should be everyone's business.
This letter is a formal request to present information to you
and the members of the City of Miami Commission which will ex-
plain the need for you to reconsider your decision and to
continue your efforts in this area.
The following names want to be put on the agenda to speak at
the April 1, 1982 meeting of the City of Miami Commission.
We, also, request an evening meeting.
