Dr. Melissa Krull is the Superintendent of Schools for the Eden Prairie School District. She became the Superintendent not long after I became the City Manager in Eden Prairie. Dr. Krull and I have sought from the start of our joint tenures here to maximize the way in which our respective organizations work together to serve the citizens of Eden Prairie.
The photo above is a snapshot of the tail-end of a joint management staff meeting that we held in late January 2004. Dr. Krull and I gather our respective management staffs together of a joint staff meeting four times each year. We discuss matters of mutual concern. We coordinate plans. We discuss how we can work together to be more effective, and more cost-effective.
We also meet to plan for two joint meetings each year of our respective governing boards: the City Council and the School Board. The spring meeting of those two groups is coming up on February 17th.
We are lucky to have a good working relationship with Eden Prairire Schools. It’s good for the City. It’s good for our citizens.
