Comment on Bellingham's legacies

The city of Bellingham is developing a "Draft Legacies" document. According to the city's web site:

"The Bellingham City Council is seeking feedback from residents on long-term goals and ways to meet those goals, in the first step of a multi-year project to improve strategic planning and performance reporting to the community.
City Council members recently established a draft set of twenty- to fifty-year goals, or "legacy statements," that will be supported by shorter term, six- to twenty-year "strategic commitments." Public comments on the draft will be accepted through June 24."
Neighborhood schools fit perfectly into these goals -- read more about the effort and find a link to the draft document at City Council seeks feedback about long-term goals

I encourage you all to comment on this document, by emailing the mayor at
mayorsoffice@cob.org, and ask the city to include the words "existing neighborhood schools" in the document. The city council has already shown its support for neighborhood schools; this is just one more way they can emphasize how important these schools are!
