A Letter to the Members of our Community August 14, 2003 Dear Community Member, It is a great honor to represent you in our service as members of the Minnetonka School Board. Since its inception in 1952, our school district has been preparing students of our ten neighboring communities to be thoughtful, contributing members of society. During that time, our district has deservedly earned a reputation for excellent teaching, exceptional student achievement, and outstanding fiscal management. Ensuring that this legacy of success continues is the heart of our job as your elected representatives. Toward that end, it is our duty to define the direction in which we want to lead our district. The following is our vision for the Minnetonka School District, one that we believe will enable us to become the world-class public school system of which we can all be proud. As we envision the District's future, we want to acknowledge the significant contributions of students, teachers, administrators, support staff, past school board members, parents, and other community members who built Minnetonka's first half-century of success. We are grateful and proud to chart the coming years from such a solid position of inherited strength. Respectfully Submitted, Peggy Stefan, Chair Robert Quam, Vice - Chair Erin Adams, Clerk William Wenmark, Treasurer Carol Eastlund, Director Judy Erdahl, Director Dave Eaton, Director 2 Table of Contents A Letter to the Members of Our Community Defining Our Vision Vision for a World-Class School District Early Childhood Education Students Teachers Curriculum and Instruction Co-Curricular Activities Supl~ortin~ Our Students, Sul~portine Our Vision Parents District Leadership Support Staff Learning Environment of Our Schools Buildings and Grounds Communications Technology Greater Community Realizin~ Our Vision Meaning of a Minnetonka Diploma Importance of Minnetonka Alumni Creating a Culture of Child-Centered Excellence Defining Our Vision Vision for a World-Class School District Early Childhood Education Students Teachers Curriculum and Instruction Co-Curricular Activities 4 Vision For A World-Class School District America's public education system is built on the belief that a nation dedicated to self government and the preservation of liberty will not endure without the intelligence and vigilance of the governed. Unique in the history of the world, America's public schools make and deliver on the bold promise to freely educate all children regardless of wealth, religion, race, gender, ability, or citizenship. The Minnetonka School Board is committed to protecting and promoting this precious legacy. We believe that a strong public education is the most direct means of creating an informed citizenry necessary to sustain democracy. Public education gives people the skills they need to live the life they imagine, to realize their dreams, and to fully develop as human beings. It is the cornerstone of healthy, engaged communities. It is essential to maintaining a thriving American economy and operating in a competitive global economy. It is the foundation upon which a free and open society rests. Strong public education gives wings to society's collective hopes for a promising future. As members of the Minnetonka School Board, we believe in the power of a collective vision to mobilize people and effect positive change in their lives. We are committed to building upon the excellence of our past and creating a world-class school district. We will insist on aligning every element of our organization toward the goal of supporting all students' pursuit of their highest levels of academic and personal achievement. We understand that becoming a world-class district will take time, talent, money, and determination. The children and citizens of our community deserve no less than our best efforts. "Good enough" serves no one well. We must dedicate ourselves to redefining excellence in education in our own terms. If our future is to be better than our past, we must have the courage to let go of what no longer serves us, embrace what is required for the future, and advocate for what is best for our children, our community, and our nation. Such a joUrney will require getting more comfortable with change, taking more informed risks, and rigorously tracking progress against clearly articulated goals. It will require the conviction to set our own standards in the face of growing state and federal mandates and dwindling financial support. It will mean being nationally recognized for academic excellence and student achievement. In all areas, it will demand putting children first. As a world-class organization dedicated to child-centered excellence, the Minnetonka School District will: Challenge and support all students in the pursuit of their highest levels of academic and personal achievement · Practice prudent and innovative managen~ent of public resources · Advocate for strong academic and strong co-curricular programs as necessary for lifetime success · Demand the highest standards of professional excellence in every level of the organization 5 · Create, pursue, and champion outstanding early childhood education opportunities so that all children enter kindergarten ready to learn and succeed · Tailor learning experiences to the needs of individual learners · Create positive, enjoyable learning environments · Foster the development of good character and social responsibility · Instill an abiding appreciation for the rights, privileges, and values of America's system of government · Produce outstanding graduates who are ready to contribute and thrive in a wide array of future pursuits · Earn, and maintain, broad-based community support Early Childhood Education Years of research show the compelling link between early childhood education and later school performance. If we are to maximize each student's potential for success, it is imperative that we have strong learning readiness initiatives in place. Therefore, the Minnetonka School District will champion and model an E-12, rather than the traditional K-2, approach to educating children. We will connect with district parents and their children as early as possible. We will create, offer, and monitor a wide variety of opportunities for parents to develop the skills and knowledge needed to nurture their children's successful future. We will recognize that the relationships developed and the skills learned at the earliest stages of life are the foundation for a child's educational future. Early childhood education will be a central part of the Minnetonka School District because these efforts form the cornerstone for a solid relationship between home and school. When families and schools are united in support of each and every child, success for all students will flourish. Students Serving students well and inspiring them to reach their highest levels of personal and academic achievement is the essence of our quest to become a world-class public school district. To that end, all curriculum offerings, supplemental programs, enrichment opportunities, staffing models, facility designs and usage, and co-curricular activities will be evaluated according to their effectiveness in supporting student success and life-long learning. As in any democratic endeavor, we must recognize that there are different levels of ability, need, desire, and interest among the students we serve. Our commitment is to 6 effectively utilize the resources of the District and align them for the maximum benefit of each child.-At all times, we will act to ensure that our students remain engaged in school and learning and will strive to raise our students' expectations regarding their own performance. Minnetonka students will not be on a track as they progress through the system. Rather, they will be encouraged and supported to explore a variety of opportunities and to access challenging course work throughout their years in the District. In an effort to eliminate artificial boundaries to our students' pursuit of knowledge and skills, Minnetonka students will be encouraged and supported to progress beyond the confines of traditional grade levels and classroom work. Once students demonstrate mastery of a subject area, they will be able to -explore accelerated learning experiences that require greater depth of knowledge and complexity. Differentiated instruction and opportunities for self-directed learning will be essential components of a Minnetonka education. We will also acknowledge that students' abilities may differ from subject to subject and will provide opportunities accordingly. The District will identify and respond to special learning needs as early as possible. We will provide personalized curriculum and staff to help students with special needs reach their life goals. Our staff will constantly strive to find new ways to meet our students' needs that are respectful and cost-effective. We will also strive to help special needs students avoid self-limiting labels and focus on their unique talents and gifts. Our staff will work with parents and students to develop reasonable, yet challenging, plans for academic and personal achievement which truly serve the individual. Teachers Teaching and the interaction between teachers and their students are central to the educational endeavor. We must pursue excellence in teaching if we are to deliver a school district that is truly world-class. Therefore, all Minnetonka teachers will have a thorough and complete command of the subjects they teach. They will employ a wide range of educational and scientific research in developing effective ways of teaching their students. Minnetonka teachers will be recognized for their commitment, enthusiasm, student-focus, effectiveness, and professionalism. They will earn the public's trust by maintaining personal and professional integrity and advocating for the best interests of students. Every Minnetonka teacher will work to ensure that each student has mastered to their fullest potential the skills and knowledge taught. Their efforts will be supported by a well-planned and adequately-funded professional development program. In addition to mastery of subject area, Minnetorlka teachers will know that simply covering curriculum does not equal excellence in teaching. Minnetonka teachers will recognize that they must address emotional and developmental issues during the learning experience in order for effective learning to take place. Because the learning environment is so critical to student success, our teachers will use their empathy, enthusiasm, patience, 7 communication skills, and effective classroom management to create a positive, supportive, respectful, and disciplined atmosphere in which academic and personal achievement can flourish. All Minnetonka teachers will exhibit a genuine love of children and a professional commitment to children's learning. They will recognize that they have enormous influence over the minds and character of the children in their charge and act accordingly. Minnetonka teachers will connect with kids and know how to pull the best out of each student. They will engender respect from their students because they are respectful of their students. Minnetonka students will give their best because their teachers inspire and believe in them. Curriculum and Instruction The Minnetonka School District will insist on a curriculum designed to stretch students' minds and prepare them to thrive in American society and the world at large. Our curriculum will reflect important dimensions of student success: academics, character development, physical and mental health, leadership, and service. It will not be limited by government prescribed standards for competency. Learning will be connected from grade-level to grade-level and from subject to subject and aligned with measures of progress. Curricular programs will be open and available to all who are interested and prepared for the work. Instruction is a critical element in our success because it is the process that transforms curriculum into learning. All Minnetonka teachers will be provided with clear work plans for delivering instruction and assessing learning. The consistent application of these challenging work plans will ensure a high level of quality and opportunity for all learners, as well as demonstrate the effectiveness of our curriculum and instruction in delivering results for our students. The instruction process will transcend skill development or mere knowledge transfer. Classroom instruction will emphasize excellence, love of learning, critical thinking, cooperation, exploration, and respect for others. Teachers must understand how attitudes, prior knowledge, habits of mind, and relevance all impact the learning process. We will insist on methods of instruction grounded in research on brain development, learning styles, and gender learning differences. We will support meaningful professional development focused on improving instructional methods so that all students become active, life-long learners. From the earliest years, the Minnetonka School Dis.trict will emphasize reading and writing as the foundation of all future learning. Curriculum and instruction will be aimed at developing in each student: · a profound command of the English language · a mastery of mathematics 8 · a mastery of scientific principles · a thorough understanding of American history, our system of government, and the importance of participating in the democratic process · global awareness through the study of world language, history, geography, and current events · appreciation of music, literature, visual and performing arts · participation in robust physical activity and health education · technological proficiency · life skills Co-Curricular Activities Since its inception, the Minnetonka School District has been proud to provide a truly comprehensive education. Recognizing academic instruction and achievement as the heart of our mission, the Minnetonka School District also insists on and supports those activities that reinforce the academic pursuits of the students we serve. Co-curricular activities are essential for delivering a world-class education. Opportunities not found in the traditional classroom enhance the students' experience today, as well as prepare them for life's challenges ahead. A variety of co-curricular activities, both competitive and non-competitive, play an important role in the academic, social, physical, and emotional development of students by nurturing the following: · perseverance · self-discipline · ethical behavior · ability to work with others · leadership qualities · an understanding of the importance of physical health and fitness · goal-setting and follow-through skills · positive self-image · the experience of competition · good sportsmanship These attitudes, skills, and experiences enhance, rather than compete with, the academic mission of our schools. They are necessary for life-long success and will be supported and celebrated. Vibrant co-curricular participation also sustains twc~ essential cultural elements of child- centered excellence: increased community support and a feeling of belonging for each student. Wide-spread participation and outstanding performance in a variety of co- curricular activities brings the community closer to the schools and students, thereby increasing awareness of and support for our students. Offering a wide variety of co- 9 curricular options which are open to a broad number of students and are responsive to student interests helps to create smaller communities within the high school community. These smaller communities are necessary for creating a feeling of belonging and relevance, both of which are essential for student performance and happiness. 10 Supporting Our Students, Supporting Our Vision Parents District Leadership Support Staff Learning Environment of our Schools Building and Grounds Communications Technology Greater Community 11 Parents The Minnetonka School District recognizes and values the important role of parents in the educational success of their children. Research shows that there are many things caring adults can do enhance children's learning. Clearly stating and setting realistic expectations, providing structure and support, talking about schoolwork, asking questions, being involved in their school, and modeling life-long learning skills have all been proven to enhance student success. Accordingly, the Minnetonka School District will encourage all parents to be directly involved in their children's education. In order to support parents' abilities and interest in influencing and encouraging student success, appropriate parent education opportunities will be offered in a spirit of community collaboration and support of our children and their families. Our obligation to parents will be to regularly communicate with them and seek their input regarding their children's education. We will provide timely and meaningful parent- teacher conferences, frequent reports to parents on their children's progress, and reasonable access to all staff. Parents will be welcomed in our schools and encouraged to volunteer. We will monitor the need for and provide services such as translation, child care, and transportation to enable all parents to be active participants in their children's schools. Through the support of the greater community and the active involvement of parents, the Minnetonka School District will be a successful partner in providing the best possible educational opportunities for all students in our community. District Leadership The mission of the Minnetonka School District sets a course to transcend traditional definitions of excellence and sees our envisioned future as a school system in which all elements are united to help students reach their highest levels of personal and academic achievement. Strong district-wide leadership and systemic thinking will be essential to realizing our mission and vision. The School Board is the first level of district-wide leadership. The seven members of this elected body will dedicate themselves to ethical decision-making and service-oriented behavior. They will champion the success of the Minnetonka School District throughout the community and state and be tireless advocates for the District's students. They will recognize that they bring a crucial blend of pragmatism, idealism, and lay wisdom to the profession of education and will remember that their role is to govern, rather than manage. In their governance capacity, the School Board will develop the District's mission and vision, write policy, approve budgets, adopt curriculum, authorize plans and projects, and direct the Administration to create and achieve individual and organizational goals aimed exclusively at furthering the District's mission and vision. 12 To achieve these ambitious goals, the School Board must have a strong and collaborative leadership relationship with the Superintendent of Schools. The Superintendent will ensure that all the diverse functions and talents of the organization are aligned into a productive, highly functioning whole and will rely on, inspire, and direct a team of talented and motivated leaders to assess conditions, understand interrelationships, find solutions, and implement changes with the appropriate urgency necessary to serve our students well. This collaborative leadership model, open and responsive to the public, will pave the way for partnerships with individuals and organizations that are essential to realizing our vision for the future. The Superintendent, and' other senior district-wide administrators who report directly to the Superintendent, will be available to all stakeholder groups to explain and build support for the District's mission and vision. The information and support gained through this collaborative leadership will allow the School Board and Superintendent to allocate and leverage resources more effectively. Likewise, the synergy created by aligning all elements of the organization toward the same goal of student achievement will fuel greater student success and community support. In addition, strong leadership by all Minnetonka principals will be the critical link in actualizing all District initiatives. These educational leaders are the key to implementing curriculum offerings, evaluating teachers and support staff, providing consistent student discipline, and building strong connections between their schools and the community. Minnetonka principals will have the commensurate responsibility and authority necessary for bringing the District's mission and vision to life. These talented leaders will set the tone and expectation for the conduct of all employees and volunteers in their buildings. Most importantly, Minnetonka principals will be the champions for aligning all resources and talents towards the attainment of outstanding personal and academic achievement for each and every Minnetonka student. Support Staff Creating a culture of child-centered excellence will depend on the efforts of all adults in the organization. While excellence in education is often focused exclusively on the interaction between teachers and students, a truly world-class school district will pursue excellence in all work areas. In order for all students to reach their highest levels of academic and personal achievement, support staff members will recognize, and appreciate that they are partners in the educational success of each student and are an integral part of our school system. These highly qualified employees will be positive role models who are committed to creating a positive and supportive learning environment for all students, as well as providing essential support for teachers. Their positive attitudes, encouraging words, and 13 consistent and caring discipline will form an essential part of Minnetonka's focus on child-centered excellence. Likewise, everyone who works for the District will be a positive ambassador for our schools as they go about their daily work. Support staff members provide unique contributions to our organization and are key communicators in our community. Their helpful attitudes and positive and responsive behavior will convey what is best about who we are and what we do. Such excellence across all support areas will enable everyone to do their best work, thereby allowing us to fulfill our mission and vision. Learning Environment of Our Schools A positive and stimulating learning environment is critical to student success. The culture of the Minnetonka School District will demonstrate support and caring for all members of our community. All stakeholders will be personably responsible for creating and maintaining an atmosphere of learning in which students feel respected, cared for, and encouraged to explore. In this environment, learning is a joy and the world is full of possibility. Students will be active learners in the classroom, not just passive observers. The learning environment of our schools will aim to develop in each student such desirable qualities as self-discipline, motivation, curiosity, confidence, cooperation, and respectful behavior. Minnetonka schools will welcome the whole community and will be known for outstanding customer service. They will serve as year-round centers of learning and fun for the District's ten communities-not just during school horn's, but all day, every day, for people of all ages. Mim~etonka schools will serve as cornerstones of neighborhood life and an important part of family life. Our schools will be the center point of our communities' commitment to public education. Unprecedented volunteerism will be a hallmark of the learning environment of the Minnetonka School District. Our students will experience school as a place where many people-not just their teachers and parents-are involved in and interested in their success. Dedicated, knowledgeable, and skilled volunteers will enable us to leverage our resources more efficiently by furthering the efforts of teachers and staff. In turn, this extensive involvement in our schools by volunteers will bring the community closer to our students, thereby supporting student success. Growing up in an atmosphere where volunteerism is welcomed and celebrated will help to develop generations of graduates who will seek their own volunteer opportunities, strengthening and ~erving society in the years to come. 14 Buildings and Grounds Excellence in buildings and grounds is essential to delivering the quality of education we seek. While what happens in the classroom and on the playing fields of our district is appropriately considered to be the heart of the educational mission, we recognize that the condition of that classroom, auditorium, or playing field also matters. The condition of our buildings and grounds signals to all who enter them that the Minnetonka School District is a place where people have pride in their surroundings. Outstanding maintenance and energy efficiency also indicates to the community that their investment is being maximally utilized for both present and future generations. It is imperative that the resources of the District be used so that all buildings and grounds are safe, clean, healthy, and attractive places that stimulate learning, encourage physical activity, and provide essential gathering places for the community as a whole. Beyond maintenance, the District will support and develop learning and work environments that balance functionality with aesthetics. We will focus on providing surroundings that are attractive, inspiring places that stimulate learning and productivity. School buildings will be flexible enough to accommodate fluctuations in enrollment and innovations in program delivery. Buildings and grounds must also support and respond to the best uses of technology and innovative products. The condition and use of the buildings and grounds of the Minnetonka School District will be the outward manifestation of our commitment to excellence. Our buildings, fields, and facilities will be welcoming gathering places for the whole community. Communications Effective communications will be essential for the continued success of the Minnetonka School District. In order to move from a successful past to a world-class future, we must expand communications efforts beyond the responsibility of a few staff members. Communications efforts can be effective only if everyone in the organization accepts responsibility for communicating accurate information and building positive relationships with the students and citizens we serve. We must recognize that every decision and every action in our organization has the potential to improve or damage the relationship we have with our stakeholders, thereby improving or damaging our ability to fulfill our mission to our students. An essential component of future District success will depend on everyone in the organization recognizing that they are "ambassadors of the District" as they meet and greet people in the course of their daily work. Communications in the District will be two-way in nature and will be focused on building relationships between the Digtrict and our students, parents, and the greater community. We will insist that communications be a planned and systemic operational function, 15 grounded in ethical decision making and designed to help improve the programs, services, and reputation of the district. The goal of all communication efforts will be helping to interpret public attitudes, opinions, and beliefs so that the School Board and Administration can identify and shape programs, policies, and procedures that will gain widespread understanding and support. Technology Technology will be essential in achieving world-class status because it can improve the way people think, learn, and work. It brings immediacy to knowledge acquisition and puts a higher value on critical thinking and evaluation. Technological fluency, once considered optional, will be required of every student, teacher, and staff member in the Minnetonka School District. Our world-class use of technology will result in: · Enhanced student learning · Expanded delivery of curriculum through improved teacher tools · Effective collaboration among students, teachers, and parents · Dynamic communications between the District and the community · Informed and timely decisions regarding student performance · Efficient and effective student and business administration Therefore, we will insist that technology: · Maximize student-teacher contact time · Maximize staff effectiveness and efficiency · Be used to enable individualized instruction · Be reliable, available, easily-serviced and current · Provide a single view of a complete student profile Provide local and remote access for authorized users to all resources · Be used by students and staff who are technologically competent and fluent · Be used to monitor and report student progress · Be powerful, flexible, and user-friendly · Be highly cost-effective in acquisition and support services · Ensure highest levels of data privacy and security The Minnetonka School District will constantly seek ways to use existing and emerging technology in innovative ways. Our enthusiasm, however, will be tempered by the realization that technology is a powerful educational tool, not a substitute for knowledge or a separate subject area. We will remember that technology can never replace the 16 human need for personal interaction or collaborative thinking as we prepare Minnetonka students for life-long learning and the 21 st century world of work. Greater Community Together, the Minnetonka School District and the ten neighboring communities we serve have been preparing our students to be thoughtful, contributing members of society for more than half a century. We are proud of this legacy and grateful for the significant contributions of students, teachers, administrators, support staff, community members, parents, past school board members, and other citizens who have built such a solid foundation. From this position of inherited strength, we recognize that the most crucial resources we steward are the ongoing financial, emotional, and human support that the greater community gives to the District's efforts to bring all students to their highest levels of personal and academic achievement. Our interdependence and shared responsibility for sending well-educated, caring, and healthy students into the outside world is critical to the future success of our society. We are committed to continuing this strong tradition of mutual support among our schools and our communities. We will seek community input as we make decisions and we will aggressively communicate both the successes and challenges the District faces as we work to provide the best for all students. We will challenge the community to commit to all of our children as we educate them to be contributing, self-reliant members of society. Together, as citizens, we must move beyond the temptation to place the duty for supporting public education primarily on those who use it. Public education is a fundamental component of our way of life and can only be as strong as the support it is given by the people who own it. The success of Minnetonka students and their future contributions to our communities, state, nation, and world will be a point of pride for every taxpayer in the Minnetonka School District. We will commit to being an integral part of the community and our success and prudent management of resources will reflect a shared sense of values, pride, and ownership with those we serve. 17 Realizing Our Vision Meaning of a Minnetonka Diploma Importance of Minnetonka Alumni Creating a Culture of Child-centered Excellence 18 Meaning of a Minnetonka Diploma Earning a Minnetonka diploma will mean more than completing a required course of study or fulfilling a certain number of hours and course credits. Our graduates will be the beneficiaries of thousands of dollars of community investment, high levels of community pride and support, years of excellence in teaching, and abundant opportunities to excel in a variety of co-curricular activities. Our graduates will be ready to join the world as contributing members of society and will secure their highest levels of personal and academic achievement. Because of our vision and commitment to transcending traditional definitions of excellence, a Minnetonka diploma will be a symbol that signifies academic excellence and personal achievement of the highest order. It will convey a graduate's readiness to compete in the world, to be a self-learner, and to become a contributing, responsible member of society. Those who earn a Minnetonka diploma will be distinguished by their positive attitudes, superior skills, and extensive knowledge. Minnetonka graduates will be confident, inspired people who possess a clear sense of purpose in their future educational, personal, and vocational pursuits. A diploma from the Minnetonka School District will be highly valued by our students and their families because it will open doors and expand opportunities for graduates as they pursue their dreams. Importance of Minnetonka Alumni Minnetonka alumni are the visible measure of our success. If our graduates report that they were well-prepared for their future pursuits, we will have been successful in fulfilling our obligation to them. If not, we must work to understand from them what we need to change in order to serve future generations well. We believe that Minnetonka alumni are critical to the success of our efforts to build a world-class school district. Alumni represent measurable examples of what can be learned and accomplished with superior preparation in public education. Their success and accomplishments, coupled with their good character and sense of civic responsibility, are all crucial, visible measures of the consequences of our vision and the return on our shared investment in America's future. Therefore, we will work with our alumni to understand whether or not they were well- prepared for their future pursuits. We will build and maintain connections with our alumni so that we can use their feedback to improve the services and programs of the Minnetonka School District. We will use those connections between the District and our alumni to encourage their continued contribution and involvement in the lives of our students, staff, and community. We will also recognize the significant contributions of 19 retired employees in our alumni efforts and work to include these valuable people. We are proud of our alumni, both students and employees, and want to be able to celebrate their successes in life, as well as share with them the successes of their alma mater. Together, the stories of our alumni create our common history and increase the sense of community, feelings of pride, and shared ownership of the Minnetonka School District. Creating a Culture of Child-Centered Excellence As an institution which serves the educational and developmental needs of children, the Minnetonka School District believes that serving children well is the highest measure of our success. Everyone involved in the organization must be united in helping all students reach their highest levels of personal and academic achievement. We have but one chance to do the right thing as each individual child moves through our schools and we must work with the appropriate sense of urgency to ensure that all children are able to pursue their brightest dreams for their future. Therefore, we will support risk-taking, respectful discourse, and challenges to the status quo as we pursue world-class, child-centered excellence. We will support and expect everyone to advocate for what is best for our children, our schools, and our communities without fear of repercussion. We will support and create a culture that is positive, open, and supportive on all levels. We will foster genuine, caring relationships among administration, staff, students and their families. We will insist upon integrity in all of our relationships and communications. Throughout the organization, the exceptional character and competence necessary to earn the trust of the people we serve will be evident. Exceptional character, integrity, competence, and the resulting trust those traits secure, will be the hallmarks of the Minnetonka School District. With time, enthusiasm, commitment, and discipline, the Minnetonka School District and the communities we serve will recognize that we have achieved world-class, child- centered excellence because: · The performance of our students, across multiple areas, ranks amongst the highest performing schools in the nation. · The District does measurably more with available resources than other districts of comparable size and quality. · Significantly more parents choose to send their children to our schools over other private or public schools in the metro region. · High-performing teachers and staff throughout the country indicate the Minnetonka School District as their first choice as a place to work · The District excels in customer service and community responsiveness, with all points of interaction being positive. 20 · The District is recognized as a leader of excellence in American public education by becoming the recipient of a wide variety of awards and recognitions. · Our alumni report a high degree of satisfaction with the preparation for life that they received through their years in the Mirmetonka School District. · The District receives unprecedented support from the communities we serve. Our culture of child-centered excellence will be sustained by setting high expectations for students, teachers, and staff. Collaborative leadership and alignment of all elements in the organization will enable us to effect meaningful, sustainable change in the lives of our students. A systemic approach to management will require meaningful assessment tools and accountability systems in order to gauge student achievement, identify areas of opportunity or improvement, and make sound decisions. The School Board must be able to demonstrate with facts, not rhetoric, that we are delivering on our promise of a world- class education. Students deserve this disciplined approach to assessment. The community demands it. The future success of our district relies upon it.

I am pleased to hear that you are enjoying the new trail recently completed in this area. I concur with your assessment about litter being so prevalent along the trail and our communities in general. Unfortunately littering is one of the silent outcomes of a disposable society that is difficult to control. I do not recall if this section of State Highway has been adopted by volunteers for clean up. I will dispatch a park maintenance crew to clean up the trail in the next week. With over 30 miles of pedestrian trails in the City we rely on the help of good Samaritans to assist us with litter patrol. I regularly witness people walking City trails with a litter bag in hand. In fact we have a number of residents who are well known for their predisposition for picking up trash. Again, thank you for your letter notifying the City of your concerns. I encourage you to spread the word about littering in an effort to reduce the problems associated with this unsightly problem. Sincerely, Todd Hoffman Park and Recreation Director C.' Todd Gerhardt, City Manager ,Mayor and City Council Park and Recreation Commission The Cily of Chanhassen · A growing community with dean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play. Wednesday, August 20, 2003 Molly Smith 5575 Nantucket Road Minnetonka, MN 55345 #952-949-2930 Dear Mayor Furlong and Council Members Mr. Lundquist, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Labatt & Mr. Ayotte: My name is Molly Smith. I am a resident of Minnetonka, but I have gone to school and church in Chanhassen for a number of years. For the past week, I have been caring for my relatives' dogs in Chanhassen. Mostly, we go for walks on the new path along Highway 101. It is a great addition but I have noticed a lot of problems with the litter. I have seen cigarette butts to pop cans, fast food wrappers to broken glass bottles. Today, I even came across a medical syringe (with the safety cap on, thank goodness). I take the dogs from Lotus Lake to Valley View Road, and the litter is consistent throughout that whole area. I am sure that some of these things are fly-aways from garbage cans or recycling bins, but I am also sure that some are not. I don't know if you have a cleaning crew or if someone has adopted that part of the highway, but I almost hope not. If someone is supposed to be cleaning up, they are not doing a very good job. I am very aware that there are several other things that are on your mind, and I appreciate that; but I also think that this brilliant (in my opinion) idea of putting in a path should not go to waste. Thank you very much for your time. I would appreciate your input of this problem.

I live in the city ofChanhassen. I aml4,~e~§ and I go to Minnetonka High School. 8u6 90 .~ 2003 I am writing this letter because I am in Boy Scouts and I am wo~liti~ badge called Citizenship In The Community. I am supposed to write a letter expressh~'qS$£N my views about a current issue in my city. This letter is about Chanhassen's city Councils lack of support, of the sport of paintball. That's right "sport". Paintball is one of the fastest growing sports in the USA. In the article I read from the Chanhassen Villager it said, "some enthusiasts say the activity teaches kids leadership, respect, and critical thinking skills." That is very true but it also teaches people teamwork, and good sportsmanship. And those two things are what are most important in any sport. Paintball has a strange way of accumulating bad reputations very easily because people think of it the wrong way. By this I mean paintball "gun" is not the correct term, the correct term is "marker". When people hear paintball gun right away they think gun oh that's dangerous. My concern is that by making paintball illegal and not supporting it can really slow the fast growth of this sport. I hope to one day see paintball considered a sport in everyone's eyes, and to make that possible more people have to respect the good aspects ofpaintball. I believe that Paintball is not as dangerous as people see it. Football, Hockey, Baseball and Men's Lacrosse are more dangerous than paintball and those are all considered sports. I know I cannot change the minds of everyone but I would like to see the city or private businesses in the city to take support ofpaintball.

The proposals were: Proposal #1 - New Horizons Day Care This proposal calls for two buildings on the site - a 10,500 square foot childcare facility with the capacity to care for 172 children, and a two-story 25,000 square foot office building. While an exact purchase price was not given, the developer stated that they would pay "full estimated market value" for the property. According to Carver County records, the full market value of the property is $543,747, or roughly $4.00 per square foot. New Horizons daycare has been approached by another developer who is interested in purchasing their existing property to help facilitate the development of the former American Legion site. New Horizons would like to remain in the Chanhassen market and believes that this site would fit their needs. Proposal #2 - Chanhassen Gateway Townoffice Park - Arima, LLC This proposal calls for "townoffices", a concept new to Chanhassen but being developed in other cities in the metro area. The offices are of high quality design and would be leased or sold. The proposed layout would incorporate four larger buildings tied together with four smaller buildings. Ground level spaces will be used for common areas and conference rooms, while the second levels will provide for office uses. They are offering $4.00 per square foot for the land, however they would also give to the City of Chanhassen clear title to approximately 6,000 square feet of fully furnished office space in this development, which the City could use or lease. The developer claims that this contribution brings the actual purchase price closer to the $9.00 - $11.00 that was discussed in the RFP. Staff and legal counsel have discussed this proposal and are not totally comfortable with the idea of accepting title to a building in lieu of a cash payment. Further negotiations would need to occur before accepting this proposal.

I was able to experience this event firsthand and was very impressed with each agency's professionalism and knowledge. It appeared that the incident was well managed given the magnitude of the situation. It was impressive to see fifteen fire departments, the Carver County Sheriff's Department, the Carver County Risk/Emergency Management Team, the State Highway Patrol, and General Mills representatives working together to mitigate this hazardous situation. Again, thank you and the entire Chanhassen Fire Department for protecting and serving our community! Sincerely, Thomas A.
