Description
Mayor William Peduto’s Education Task Force released a wide-ranging set of policy recommendations to foster further collaboration between the City of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Public Schools, and support children and families in the city.
A
I'm
going
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
to
do
and
think
the
press
for
being
here.
This
is
such
an
important
issue
across
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
actually
across
the
region
and
across
the
country,
as
you
can
tell
by
a
lot
of
the
articles
in
today's
paper
and
and
in
the
past,
I
think
the
pittsburgh
has
always
been
on
the
forefront
of
a
lot
of
things
and
I.
A
Think
education
is
going
to
be
one
of
those
things
you
see
coming
out
of
this
new
administration,
making
it
as
such
a
priority
and
the
fact
that
this
task
force
has
come
together
and
done
a
ton
of
work
and
I
want
to
thank
the
task,
force,
members
and
I'm
going
to
tell
them
to
come
up
step
up
and
introduce
themselves.
So
you
know
who
folks
who
are-
and
this
is
not
even
the
total
task
force.
These
are
just
some
of
the
folks
who
that
could
join
us
today.
A
E
F
A
And,
of
course
we
have
the
mayor
we're
going
to
get
to
find
the
mayor
and
we're
going
to
get
to
the
mayor,
we're
gonna
get
to
the
mayor
and
dr.
Lane
and
I'm
here
we're
gonna
get
to
the
mayor.
Dr.
Lane
in
here.
We
gonna
hear
from
some
of
the
task
force
members
again
at
the
end
of
this
news
conference,
but
I
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
today.
A
So
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
in
the
future
about
including
additional
you
have
possibly
charter
school
folks,
possibly
public
private
school
folks
and
I.
Think
we
realize
is:
these:
are
all
our
students,
no
matter
where
they
attend
schools?
These
are
all
our
children.
These
are
people
that
we
care
about,
and
this
is
our
future
and
if
we
don't
take
a
stand
at
this
point
and
we
continue
down
the
path
of
ignoring
things
and
saying
that
this
is
not
our
responsibility.
A
This
is
not
your
responsibility
and
we
don't
collaborate
on
these
issues
that
are
so
important,
we're
going
to
continue
down
at
the
downward
spiral
and
we're
locking
into
tract.
If
you
look
at
sup
with
residents
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
we're
not
going
to
retain
residents
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
if
you
look
at
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
where
we
lost
some
residency
over
the
past
several
years,
we've
lost.
A
You
know
I,
think
that
at
this
point
after
we
came
together,
we
realized
that
there's
a
lot
of
value,
there's
a
lot
of
interest
and
where
there's
a
lot
of
priority
with
our
children
and
so
I
want
to
thank
the
task
force,
but
mostly
want
to
thank
mayor
Peduto
because
he's
gotten
a
lot
of
heat
over
this
and
I.
Think
you
know
this.
It's
easy
to
take
political
shots.
It's
easy
to
make
you
no
comments.
It's
easy
to
do!
Do
things,
it's
not
easy
to
roll
up
your
sleeves
and
get
busy.
A
A
Even
through
the
bumpy
I
think
that
the
end
we're
going
to
have
something
extremely
successful,
I
think
at
the
end,
there
will
be
a
lot
of
folks
that
want
to
be
on
board
with
this
I
think,
as
we
can
see
now,
just
from
some
of
our
work
we've
been
doing
over
the
past
few
meetings,
we
are
getting
a
tremendous
amount
of
calls
from
folks
that
want
to
be
involved
in
this.
They
see
the
value
in
working
together.
A
G
G
There
were
some
articles
that
had
come
out
that
a
few
of
the
schools
would
be
closing
that
we
would
be
seeing
school
closures
happening
as
early
as
2014
and
council
had
taken
some
actions
to
try
and
compel
the
school
district
in
the
school
board
to
stop
any
of
the
school
closings.
That
may
happen,
and
at
that
point
there
was
friction
it
wasn't.
G
Communication
was
literally
friction
coming
from
two
different
sides
about
what
the
role
of
city
government
should
be,
or
whether
city
government
should
just
step
away
from
the
issue
completely
and
from
that
came
one
of
the
first
communications
led
by
Councilwoman
Smith
of
trying
to
reach
out
between
City
Council
in
the
Pittsburgh,
Public
Schools
and,
most
importantly,
the
school
board
itself
and
from
that
the
legislation
that
was
being
proposed
was
pulled
and
instead
a
taskforce
idea
of
bringing
everyone
together
to
do
something
that
we
haven't
done
for
over
a
decade.
Something
that's
absolutely
critical
to
education.
G
It
was
almost
one
year
ago
today,
it
was
back
on
februari,
21st
2014
that
the
people
behind
me
and
the
other
members
of
this
task
force
were
named
in
little
under
one
year,
they've
been
able
not
just
to
put
together
a
series
of
recommendations
and
steps
that
are
the
necessary
building
blocks
of
having
a
united
front
on
what
public
education
means
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
but
they've
been
able
to
defuse
where
we
were
one
year
ago.
Let
me
remind
you
of
where
we
were
one
year
ago.
G
G
The
most
we're
working
together
to
lobby
for
school
funding,
reform
in
partnership
not
only
with
our
union
but
with
our
corporate
community
and
again
our
nonprofits
and
we're
working
together
to
tell
the
positive
story
of
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
and
to
create
an
ongoing
communication
between
the
school
and
the
city
for
the
benefit
of
our
children
in
less
than
one
year.
This
task
force
has
done
so
much
more
than
just
create
an
agenda
to
move
forward.
It
is
also
healed,
the
wounds
of
a
previous
decade,
councilman
Smith.
G
A
Thank
You,
mayor
Peduto
and
you
know
when
we
bought
folks
together.
I
have
to
be
honest,
I,
don't
think
dr.
Lane
was
really
thrilled
with
the
legislation
initially,
but
she
came
around
and
I
want
to
say
she
not
only
came
around,
but
she
has
been
the
big
one
of
the
strongest
advocate
for
her
students
and,
if
you
know,
dr.
A
Lane
she's,
fiercely
protective
of
her
students
and
she's
fiercely
protective
of
her
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
and
she
still
managed
to
bring
us
all
together
and
to
work
together
and
has
really
risen
above
what
I've
ever
seen
a
lot
of
suit.
What
I've
seen
a
lot
of
superintendents
do
in
the
past
she
put
her
ego
aside.
She
put
her
power
aside
and
made
sure
that
we
were
working
together
for
the
betterment
of
the
students.
I
think
that
people
don't
understand
the
value
of
putting
aside
everything
and
it's
easy
to
exploit
our
children
for
politics.
A
It's
easy
to
exploit
our
children
for
jobs.
It's
easy
to
exploit
our
children
in
many
ways.
It's
not
easy
to
put
all
your
egos
aside
and
I'm
so
thankful
to
dr.
Lane
into
the
mayor
and
to
the
school
board
and
his
task
force
members
for
everyone
for
putting
their
egos
aside
and
putting
the
children
first
to
stop
the
end.
Analyst
exploitation
of
our
children
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
dr.,
Lane
and
I
want
to
introduce
her
and
she's
going
to
make
some
remarks.
A
But
I
want
to
thank
her
very
much
for
her
efforts
coming
forward
because
she
was
very
stead,
yeah,
very
steadily,
making
sure
that
we
focused
on
children
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
she
wasn't.
She
was
worried
about
all
children,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
it
was
really
great
to
work
with
her
she's
going
to
be
continued
to
be
a
force
in
this
commission
as
we
move
forward,
and
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
dr.
Lane.
D
D
Things
in
the
report
that
I
am
most
pleased
about.
One
is
the
safety
issue.
I
talked
to
the
task
force,
as
well
as
the
Department
of
Public
Safety,
and
had
frankly,
wonderful
cooperation
from
the
Bureau
of
police
around
safety
in
our
neighborhoods,
because
we
have
some
neighborhoods
that
make
it
difficult
for
kids
to
concentrate
on
their
academics
and
so
being
able
to
work
together
to
make
that
a
stronger
model
for
kids,
I
think,
is
extremely
important.
D
Another
one
is
telling
our
good
stories.
We
know
that
I've
learned
over
time.
There
are
plenty
of
people
willing
to
tell
your
bad
story
for
you.
You
don't
necessarily
need
to
do
that,
that
it
is
our
job
to
tell
the
good
story,
and
so
there
are
so
many
of
them
out
there
and
to
have
the
city
working
with
us
to
tell
the
good
stories
of
things.
Kids
are
doing
every
day.
D
Even
now,
as
we
stand
here,
teachers
and
kids
would
be
working
today
if
it
weren't
for
the
fact
that
we're
not,
I
think,
I'm
trying
to
say
florida,
but
that
wouldn't
even
work,
because
it's
too
cold
there
too,
but
today
they
would
be
working
to
do
some
great
things,
and
so
any
of
you
that
doubt
that
visit
a
school
visit,
a
school
I,
don't
care
what
people
have
said
about
it,
I
don't
care
what
they
think
is
going
on.
Please
go
in
and
see
for
yourselves
because
you
will
be.
D
I
think,
in
most
cases
very
pleased
with
the
things
you
see
going
on
in
our
classrooms
and
the
work
our
teachers
are
doing
so
I
believe,
in
working
together
with
people.
I
don't
have
to
agree
with
people
to
work
with
them.
I
don't
have
to
agree
with
them
to
work
with
them,
and
I
do
believe
that
as
a
city,
it
is
important
for
city
government
and
the
district
to
work
collaboratively
to
solve
some
of
our
most
pressing
problems,
and
so
that's
been
the
work
of
the
task
force.
Thank.
A
Thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
say,
I
really
value
what
you
said
about
going
to
visit
the
school
dr.
lane,
because
when
my
I
have
three
children,
when
my
children
left
private
school
to
go
to
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools,
my
son
had
contacted
me
and
asked
me
to
send
him
to
Langley
and
I
said
over
my
dead
body.
Well,
I'm
still
here
today
and
my
son
graduated
from
Langley
I
just
want
to
say
it
was
amazing
when
I
actually
went
in
and
saw
what
they
were
actually
doing
inside
that
school.
A
So
you
go
see
for
yourself.
I
want
to
introduce
councilman,
Rudy
ack,
who
was
a
strong
advocate
on
this
and
a
strong
force
on
this
task
force
and
had
been
very
helpful
and
so
I
want
to
introduce
her
for
a
few
comments
and
then,
shortly
after
we
hear
from
a
couple
members
we're
going
to
turn
over
to
mayor
Peduto
and
Tim
McNulty.
To
answer
your
questions.
C
Thank
You
counsel,
mackail-smith,
Thank,
You
superintendent,
lane
and
the
mayor
I
am
very
happy
to
be
here
to
talk
more
about
this
partnership
between
the
city
and
the
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
and
stakeholders
across
the
city.
As
I
said
earlier,
I
am
a
very
proud,
proud
graduate
of
the
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
having
gone
to
concord
elementary
school
and
stare
at
classical
academy
and
carrick
high
school,
and
I
know
that
my
education
has
offered
me
more
than
anything
that
we
can
quantify
with
complex
statistics
or
progress
reports.
C
We
stand
here
today
with
a
report
in
a
committee
of
people
who
want
to
finally
recognize
that
and
we've
the
resources
of
the
school
and
the
city
together,
because
we
know
that
if
we
work
together,
the
student
experience
and
the
quality
of
education
will
be
greater
than
the
sum
of
the
parts.
As
you
look
through
the
report,
you'll
see,
there's
there's
five
different
sections
that
we
focused
on
first
public
safety
out
of
school
programming
connections
between
school
in
their
communities
in
the
in
the
form
of
community
school,
coordinating
resources
through
that
marketing.
C
Of
course,
we
have
this.
We
have
this
wonderful
partnership
with
the
city
and
school
district
right
now.
The
Pittsburgh
promise-
and
we
are
all
committed
to
working
harder
to
actively
recruit
families
and
students
to
the
district
I
do
have
to
say
I
was
actually
I
have
been
door,
knocking
a
lot
when
I've
been
running
for
office,
and
I
literally
met
families
who
lived
in
places
like
beachy
and
brookline,
who
had
moved
from
places
like
Mount
Lebanon
to
take
advantage
of
the
Pittsburgh
promise.
C
So
I
have
seen
with
my
own
with
my
own
eyes
that
this
is
working,
but
we
need
to
do
more.
We
need
to
harness
the
power
of
alumni
to
connect
our
schools
and
communities
together.
As
superintendent
Lane
said,
we
have
so
many
good
stories
to
tell
and
as
a
city
councilor
I've
always
worked
to
bring
out
those
stories
and
and
visit
schools
and
do
proclamations.
I
was
just
at
Brashear
and
I'm.
Actually,
the
director
of
the
statewide
young
elected
officials
network,
so
I'm
planning
to
go
in
to
this.
C
The
social
studies
classes
that
we
share
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
it's
like
to
be
an
elected
official
fully
in
the
next
few
weeks.
So
I'm
constantly
doing
this,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
elected
officials
are
connected
to
these
opportunities
and
we
need
to
all
be
equal
partners
in
that
fight
for
better
education
and
better
school
funding.
So
as
much
as
this
report,
all
we
can
take
a
sigh
of
relief
that
this
report
is
done
in
many
ways.
This
is
just
the
beginning
of
our
work.
C
A
Thank
You
counselor
rudy
and
I'm
going
to
introduce
a
school
board
member
scoreboard
director
terry
kennedy,
who
has,
I
don't
think
she's
missed
one
meeting
in
terms
of
this
education
task
force,
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
we
were
to
meet
at
westwood
school
in
westwood
and
due
to
the
school
cancellation
that
we
were
unable
to
meet
there
today.
But
we
want
to
thank
all
the
staff
and
folks
there
who
were
preparing
for
this
news
conference.
There
will
make
it
up
to
have
a
meeting
there
or
something
to
Terry
Kennedy.
A
E
You
25
years
ago,
my
husband
and
I
were
newlyweds
and
we
were
just
the
type
of
families
that
we
now
are
looking
to
attract.
I
was
working
in
the
suburbs.
It
would
have
been
easy
to
buy
a
house
in
the
suburbs
when
we
decided
to
stop
running
and
buy
a
house
instead,
we
said
well
wait
a
minute.
Only
thing
we
do
in
the
suburbs
is
work.
Everything
we
do
is
in
the
city.
So
where
did
we
end
up
doing?
We
only
look
for
houses
in
the
city
and
we
bought
in
1990.
E
In
fact,
my
oldest,
who
turns
21
next
week,
will
actually
graduate
this
year,
not
because
he's
a
slow
learner,
but
because
he
has
a
special
education
and
do
the
laws
you
can
stay
in
the
district
and
be
educated
through
the
end
of
the
school
year
during
which
he
turned
21.
If
so,
he'll
actually
graduate
this
June,
but
he
started
in
early
intervention
in
the
district.
E
So
my
I've
been
in
the
district
for
a
long
time
based
on
him
and
my
daughter
is
a
graduate
and
she's
a
sophomore
College
majoring
in
education,
and
she
wants
to
come
back
to
the
city
and
teach.
In
fact,
my
both
my
children
attended,
minna
de
oh
and
the
teachers.
There
were
so
happy
to
hear
what
my
daughter
is
majoring
in.
They
wanted
to
come
here
from
wilkes-barre,
where
she's
in
college,
to
go
to
her
student
teaching.
E
If
it
wasn't
for
the
distance
factor,
she
might
have
considered
it,
but
when
I'm
telling
you
is
as
you're
looking
to
relocate
when
you're
looking
to
buy
a
house,
don't
just
say
we
can't
something
live
in
the
city.
You
have
to
look.
Take
a
tour
meet
the
principal's
meet
the
other
parents
to
walk
around
and
also
it
even
if
you
or
do
not
have
children
realize
and
invest
in
our
community
is
investment
in
all
of
our
futures,
because
without
our
children
and
with
we
don't
need
schools
and
without
our
schools
we
don't
have
a
city.
E
So
we
really
want
everybody
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
this
task
force
was
so
important
because
there
is
that
tie
in.
We
can't
just
be
in
separate
silos.
Councilman,
O'connor
and
I
have
a
lot
of
the
same
territory
for
our
voting
district,
but
guess
what
we
talk.
We
know
what's
going
on
with
each
other,
because
it
is
important
if
we're
going
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
constituents.
E
Yes,
we
all
vote
ad
for
the
whole
city,
whether
you're
on
city
council,
on
school
board,
but
what's
going
on
in
our
own
neighborhoods
or
where
we
can
be
most
impactful
of,
say,
yeah.
We
know
this
is
coming
up
and
we
know
this
incident
is
going
to
be
affecting
these
students.
So
you
know
it's
very
nice
and
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
I
know:
Theresa
Cal
Smith
talks
a
lot
to
her
school
board.
Members
I
hacked
a
lot
period.
E
I
know
I,
know
Khalid
Councilwoman
Rudy
akal
is
the
San
we're
all
like
that,
because
why
that's
how
we
work
better
together?
It's
not
just
through
this
formal
task
force,
it's
the
informal
meetings
and
showing
up
the
same
community
meetings,
because
we
all
have
vested
interests.
So
just
because
the
task
force
report
is
out
and
business
of
this
pasture
is
done,
there's
a
lot
going
forward
and
I'm
sure
you're
going
to
hear
more
of
that
coming
up,
but
even
outside
the
formal
committee
there's
a
lot
going
on
behind
the
scenes.
E
A
B
B
So
I
think,
if
you
were
to
look
at
that
report,
the
main
recommendation
is
that
the
city
and
the
school
district
collaborate
over
the
course
of
basically
the
future
and
with
the
task
force,
has
identified
five
core
areas
for
that
form
of
collaboration.
You
heard
the
mayor
articulate
that
at
the
beginning,
in
his
comments,
Public
Safety
is
dr..
Lane
said
is
the
highest
priority
and
when
we
think
about
public
safety,
we
can
talk
about
safety
areas
around
schools.
We
can
talk
about
safe
routes
to
school
and
things
of
that
sort.
B
So
you
can
look
in
there
and
see
about
that.
The
mayor
also
talked
about
out-of-school
time,
and
the
city
has
an
important
role
to
play
in
collaboration
with
the
school
district.
On
that
front,
I
haven't
I,
didn't
read
it
in
advance,
but
we
also.
We
talked
about
communications
marketing,
of
the
excellence
of
education.
Here
in
the
city
we
talked
about
community
and
schools
and
the
importance
of
building
a
model
based
on
data
and
needs
and
school
funding.
B
E
E
B
I
would
say
that
some
of
the
things
you're
already
seen
the
the
city
is
taking
a
role
in
partnership
with
a
post
and
other
organizations
related
to
our
school
time
so
you're,
starting
to
see
the
city
move
into
that
space,
but
a
post
and
others
and
the
task
force
have
recommended
that
the
city
really
think
about
systematic
efforts
that
they
could
use
the
deploy
to
increase
access.
So
you
might,
you
might
start
to
see
areas
of
collaboration
there.
B
G
Just
read
follow-up
on
just
for
a
second,
the
superintendent
myself.
Well,
the
superintendent,
the
the
president
of
pft
and
I
meet
on
a
regular
basis
and
that's
been
from
really
the
first.
I
think,
first
month
that
I've
been
in
the
office,
I
would
say
that
it's
a
healthy
discussion
that
there's
trepidation
on
how
far
you
step.
Where
is
the
responsibility
of
one?
Where
is
the
responsibility
of
the
other?
G
So
that's
where
we
are
right
now
in
the
five
recommendations
are
a
way
to
get
us
in
there
specifics
under
each
of
those
to
where
we
need
to
be
over
the
course
of
the
next
several
years
and
what
it
does
is.
It
allows
us
to
work
together
from
one
common
agenda
instead
of
having
to
pick
and
choose
the
agendas
that
are
being
presented
from
individuals,
organizations
and
others,
and
instead
bring
us
together
in
a
united
front.
G
So
I
think
that
what
the
Councilwoman
spoke
about
back
when
we
were
at
the
phase
of
not
working
together
but
fighting
was
we
need
to
start
talking
and
what
this
does.
This
goes
much
further
than
that.
It
gives
us
a
set
of
a
five
concrete
ways
that
we
can
benefit
the
city
and
what
resources
will
be
needed
to
put
behind
it
as
well
to
get
it
done.
B
If
you,
if
you
look
in
the
report,
there's
a
recommendation
that
the
the
mayor
and
the
superintendent
report
back
on
the
the
working
working
group
said.
Let's
say
that
would
be
put
together
around
these
recommendations.
So
I
would
expect
that
they'll
be
regular
reports
back
to
the
task
force,
as
well
as,
more
importantly
to
the
council,
the
board
and
the
broader
public
City.
G
Council
late
last
year
created
a
full-time
commission
on
education,
something
we
haven't
had
in
the
past
and
there's
been
some
discussion
on
whether
or
not
the
role
of
the
mayor
or
City
Council
should
be
in
education
when
there's
other
needs,
such
as
Public
Safety
and
public
works
and
I
steal.
The
phrase
from
a
fellow
mayor
from
the
Midwest
who
said
any
mayor
or
elected
official
who
gives
up
on
education,
gives
up
on
the
future
of
their
city.
G
Yeah
well
on
public
safety.
It
not
only
involves
the
use
of
the
Pittsburgh
police
and
in
a
partnership
with
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools.
We
do
this
for
neighborhood
business
districts.
We
have
officers
who
go
in
and
help
the
business
districts
to
understand
where
there
may
be
security
issues,
creating
chain
of
phone
chains
and
email
chains
in
order
to
get
word
out,
but
we
don't
do
the
same
within
our
school
systems
and
so
there'll
be
a
more
collaborative
way
that
the
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
and
the
chief
and
particular
work
directly
with
the
superintendent.
G
There
also
will
be
analysis
done
of
the
areas
around
the
schools
and,
as
we
look
to
do
a
complete
Street
model
over
the
next
couple
of
years
for
downtown
in
Oakland.
We're
also
going
to
be
looking
at
that
same
type
of
a
model
around
our
our
schools.
In
other
words,
our
area
is
safe,
not
just
for
vehicles
to
travel,
but
for
people
to
walk
people
with
needs
to
walk
and
even
bicycling
in
other
modes
of
transportation
around
it.
G
D
Just
last
Friday
chief
McClay
came
to
our
office,
which
was
phenomenal
and
met
with
our
acting
chief
of
police
and
six
about
six
of
us
set
together
with
him
and
Commander
Schubert,
and
talked
about
how
some
of
the
things
we
wanted
to
change.
We
plan
to
invite
chief
McClay
to
come
to
our
principals
meeting
talk
to
our
principles.
We
talked
about
the
zone
commanders,
getting
to
know
the
principles
in
their
zone,
so
there's
just
a
tighter
collaboration,
especially
trading
information,
because
that
can
be
one
of
the
best
safety
measures
we
can
have.
G
Yeah
I'm,
the
discussion
is
still
ongoing.
I
think
that
it
really
needs
to
be
through
what
the
schools
need
and
what
we
will
take
on
to
be
a
part
of
our
operating
budget
to
help
them
to
do
it.
So
it
will.
You
know,
there's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
good
examples
out
there
there's
a
lot
of
ways.
Technology
can
be
utilized.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
public
safety
services
of
the
city
are
being
provided
in
a
cooperative
way
to
every
school.
You.
H
D
Community
Schools
models
usually
are
based
on
integrating
different
services
in
schools,
especially
in
the
schools
where
we
needed
to
most
it
may
be
health
services,
it
may
be
dental,
it
may
be
social
services.
Often
it
means
having
a
way
for
families
to
kind
of
support.
The
work
of
the
school
social
worker
to
connect
families
to
agencies
within
the
city
that
they
might
need
to
be
able
to
access
part
of
it
is
knowing
what
kids
need
and
being
able
to
know
which
children
are
matched
up
with
with
services.
D
And
how
can
we
better
ensure
that
kids,
where
there's
an
agency
out
there,
that
could
be
helping
this
family
but
the
family
to
know
about
it,
and
we
make
those
connections
and
community
schools.
Often
those
services
are
actually
provided
within
the
school
and
it
may
be
on
a
rotating
basis,
I
see
everything
from
a
mobile
van
that
goes
around
and
provides
services
on
a
regular
basis
to
having
an
actual
office
in
the
school.
So
there
are
different
models
around
the
country.
H
D
H
B
As
the
mayor
said
earlier
and
I
think
dr.
Lane
also
said
this:
the
idea
is
that
this
is
a
blueprint
identifying
these
core
areas
and
you'll
find
that
there's
there'll
be
a
need
for
working
groups
to
start
to
actually
delve
into
the
mechanics
and
the
details
of
each
of
these
areas.
One
of
the
suggestions,
though
this
is
for
reporting
forward
and
for
continuing
to
identify
future
areas
of
collaboration,
was
the
possibility
of
putting
together
some
position.
Fuller.
B
You
know
whether
it's
a
portion
of
a
position
or
not
it's
unclear
yet
to
do
liaison
work
and
to
be
a
more
direct
form
of
communication
between
the
city
and
the
school
district.
It's
it's
a
recommendation
that
they
consider
that
it's
not
something
that
they
actually
ought
to
acquire
to
do.
I
think
the
kind
of
communication
and
collaboration
that
you're
starting
to
see
is
probably
the
most
important
thing
and
the
continuation
of
that
is
what's
really
most
important.
G
Just
I
can't
I
can't
let
that
go.
I
mean
this
guy
was
a
school
board.
Member,
a
city
council
member
and
now
leads
a
non-profit
on
children.
I
mean
what
we
need
to
do
is
take
dr.
downs,
brain
and
basically
have
that
ability
to
understand
it
from
all
three
perspectives.
How
do
we
get
our
schools,
our
city,
in
those
on
the
front
lines
of
helping
children
to
work
collaboratively
on
a
single
agenda?
That's
all
we
need
to
do.
G
We
need
to
basically
have
that
ability
to
do
it
and
to
work
together,
and
you
know
we
have
the
perfect
example
with
dr.
doubt.
What
we
need
to
do
is
find
the
ability
to
do
that,
whether
it
is
through
the
informal
process
we
have
or
a
more
structured
process
through
an
individual,
but
all
three
need
to
be
rowing
together.
There's
enough
resources
out
there
there
we
don't
have
an
infinite
amount
of
kids.
We
have
a
finite
number
and
we
can
help
them
individually
and
collectively.
