As a <br />result of those threats, Superintendent Jan Witthuhn invited the Mayors and City Managers of the <br />seven cities that are part of the Mounds View School District to discuss what happened and <br />asked for ways that the Cities could work together to challenge this behavior. Roseville Human <br />Rights Chair Thelma McKenzie and Neal Beets attended the meeting. The attendees discussed <br />activities that the school district and the cities could undertake to speak out against racism and <br />terrorist threats. Participants agreed on the importance of sending a unified message that <br />terrorism and racism are not accepted in our communities. <br />Council Action Requested: <br />Motion to direct the Mayor to sign the Mounds View School District Board and the City <br />Councils of Arden Hills, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, Roseville, Shoreview and <br />Vadnais Heights resolution against racism and terrorist threats. <br />
