The city coun- cil has met with them as well. I serve on the board of the Oak Park Business and Education Alliance, a public/private partnership formed to help raise the educational standards in our community. The school boards, administration, teachers, parents and students have done an excellent job of working together to improve educa- tion in our community. Property val- ues have jumped double digits for sev- eral years in a row. We are proud of the dramatic improvement. ABRAMS from page 21 is a separate government entity, our council and administration cooperate with school officials in many ways. For example, we provide a variety of infor- mational and technological benefits to the school system via our cable fran- chise contract. The city and district share the use of several of one another's facilities, for mutual benefit. On the personal level, I am a member of the Oak Park Business and Education Alliance, which provides scholarships to Oak Park High School graduates. ALLEN from page 21 The city of Oak Park has three school districts: Oak Park, Berkley and Ferndale. I am currently working with the Oak Park School District developing strategies to increase parental involvement and provide moral guidance to students. The city should sponsor cultural diversity sensitivity training for all districts. Education, mentoring and recreation- al services should continue beyond the school day. Many of our children live in homes where the parent(s) work until 5 or 6 p.m. Citizens should vote yes on proposal B to build the new multipur- pose recreational facility and improve library services. [The] city should repair- and reopen the municipal pool. SELIGSON from page 21 promise for a successful future, due to our success in forming public/private partnerships and by promoting increased parental involvement. Building on these partnerships, with parents and the private sector, is both the challenge and the promise of the future. Our mayor serves as a catalyst in promoting these relationships. I am the only candidate, or mem- ber of council, to have served on a school board (Oak Park District, 1987-1991). This included two years as secretary and one year as treasurer.
