If the city council confirms Mayor Dave Cieslewicz's appointment of Bill
Clingan to be the city's first director of its new Economic and Community
Development Department, Clingan will become part of a bridge between the mayor's administration and the Madison School District.
As Cieslewicz told the Capital Times editorial Board this week, the city has no real authority over the schools but they are crucial to the city's success in fighting crime and in promoting economic development.
"We need to find the right way to engage with the schools," he said. "Bill
Clingan is part of the answer."
