[Peace-discuss] Great Campus Open House Invitation

[David Green]

Dear Friend,    What happens when committed parents, community members, university  faculty, staff, and students put their heads and hearts together in  the interest of equity and excellence in public education?    How can we think of existing neighborhoods, schools and educational  goals in new and exciting ways?    What would a school that embraces and educates all its  students—underachievers, high achievers, low income, upper income, all  cultures—equally well?    How could we think about school design and governance in a way that  maximizes parental, faculty and community involvement, while  respecting the value and role of the central administration and school  board?    What if we could attract outstanding faculty, administrators and  support staff, as well as serve as a training ground and launching pad  for future educational leaders committed to excellent urban education?    Clear your calendar for Thursday, December 7th, 6:00 PM and join us  for an exciting
 gathering of educators and community members who share  your interests and commitments.  Come to find out about and experience  the Great Campus idea at our Open House—we care about what you think  and need your feedback.    The attached flyer describes the Scoping Study and purpose of our  gathering in greater detail.  We'd love it if you encouraged others  who may be interested in attending and ask that you forward this email  with the attached flyer so they receive the same background  information.    We'll be looking for you next Thursday, December 7th at 6:00 PM, at  the Illinois Terminal, 45 E. University Avenue, 4th Floor.  There will  be refreshments and plenty of parking.  If you have any questions  about this gathering, please contact Imani Bazzell at the Urban League  of Champaign County, 363-3333 x20      We look forward to your company and input!      Sincerely,        Ann Bishop, School of Library and Information Sciences, UIUC  Rochelle Gutierrez, Department
 of Curriculum and Instruction, UIUC  Doug Johnston and Jim Wescoat, Department of Landscape Architecture,   UIUC  Imani Bazzell, Urban League of Champaign County
