(Agenda Item II)
Curriculum and Instruction Director Donna Tileston reviewed the joint vision statement. She
questioned whether the statement says what the Triad really wants it to say and whether it could be easily
understood by the community "Chemical' abuse should be changed to "substance" abuse. "Tolerated or
Accepted" needs to be softened.
The revised joint vision statement reads:
• Our goal is to cause the total Allen community to develop a spiritual, physical and social
environment in which substance abuse is eliminated through education, interdiction, support,
enforcement and recovery
• We accept the difficulty of our challenge, and we refuse to accept the curse of substance abuse in
our homes, our schools and our workplaces. As community leaders, we are united in our mission
of becoming a "lighthouse community" of nurturing, caring, involved and committed citizens.
• We understand that Allen is not an island, isolated from the challenges, stresses and temptations of
• society at large. We know that all of us live and work in a world in which no one is immune from
the dangers of substance abuse.
We believe that as we manifest the faith, the courage, the determination, the positive "can do"
attitude and the high expectations that we have come to expect of ourselves in other areas of
community life, that we can make a difference
MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Fulk and a second by Councilmember Owen, the
Council voted five (5) for and none (0) opposed to accept and adopt the revised joint vision
statement. The motion carried.
MOTION: Upon a motion and second made by members of the Allen Independent School District Board
of Trustees, the Board of Trustees voted six (6) for and none (0) opposed to accept and adopt
the joint vision statement The motion carried.
It was suggested that a task force be created to develop an action plan.
Information Service Director Tun Carroll, Public Information Officer Katherine Poteet and President

Other community organizations will also become involved including the churches, Allen Community
Outreach, etc.
The Services Standing Committee will represent the City on the task force.
