Marquette school landmark status set for Monday council meeting
Tribune Staff Report
SOUTH BEND — The South Bend Common Council will hold a public hearing and vote Monday on whether to declare Marquette Primary Center, 1905 College St., a historic landmark. The 71-year-old school is at the center of a battle between those who would like to preserve the building and those who want it torn down to build a new school.The South Bend Community Schools Corp. already has approved plans for a new $36 million building. A petition drive is under way on both sides of the case.
The issue will be discussed during the council's zoning and annexation committee meeting at 3:45 p.m. Monday in the council's informal meeting room on the fourth floor of the County-City Building. The council's 7 p.m. meeting, which will include a public hearing and the vote, will be in council chambers on the fourth floor of the County-City Building.

I want to encourage anyone living in the neighborhood that has an opinion about the Marquette School landmark designation decision to PLEASE attend Monday night's City Council meeting! It will be very important for the Council to hear from the actual people that live near the school.
I've just about given up on SBCSC. I understand your concerns but the issues with the SBCSC go well beyond the issue of Marquette School. I fully expect the State of Indiana to take over our school system....and to be honest I can hardly wait!
I will be watching your blog though...I'm a bit beyond broken hearted these days...I grew up here and frankly I think I've become numb.
