Being persuaded that public elementary, middle, high school and University education in Montevallo is whole cloth, the integrity of the fabric being dependent upon the quality of its constituent threads; and,

Being further persuaded that the economic, as well as the social and cultural, development of Montevallo is dependent upon the quality of public education in the City; and,

Being convinced that, despite a history of close relations, the three public schools, the American Village, and the University of Montevallo can cooperate even more with renewal of the 1984 Educational Compact to the end of strengthening the whole cloth of public education in the City of Montevallo,

The below named educational and community leaders of Montevallo do hereby formally declare and determine it to be their purpose henceforth to cooperate more closely together, beginning with the determination of the special needs of the three public schools and a plan to meet same, and determination of ways the University can be of greater assistance to the schools.
