City staff described a revived sister‑city program with Belm, Germany that brought six Englewood students to Germany last year and proposes returning delegates for a weeklong student‑centered exchange; commissioners discussed activities, host‑family logistics and a $5,000 council allocation that will need to cover most expenses.

At a special Oct. 9 meeting the Englewood Board of Education revised two draft board-goal statements focused on strengthening communication with the community and expanding board professional development; the board will refine action steps and revisit the goals at its Oct. 30 meeting.
