AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Terry Groden, 25211 Chase Drive asked if there is anyone that did not receive a copy of Resolution 10-54 from the school district. He had asked at a previous Council meeting for the Council to consider a Resolution asking lawmakers to stop enforcing unfunded mandates on public school districts. He realized afterwards that it would be hard to discern between himself as a resident and a school board member. He didn't want to give the impression he was speaking that evening on behalf of the school board as a whole. The North Olmsted School Board has spoken now in the form of Resolution 10-54, which was passed unanimously on June 28, 2010. This Resolution opposes mandates that adversely affect the North Olmsted School District's finances in any way and/or prevent the school district from providing the best overall educational experience for its students as it sees fit. He asked again for the City's support of Resolution 10-54. This is an opportunity for the City and school district to work together.
