A coalition of residents, community association
members, and local nonprofit organizations will hold
a community forum to discuss alternative locations
for the Parole and Probation facility located at
2100 Guilford Avenue. The current location, across the
street from a local elementary school, endangers 
the security of the school and has led to several
incidents of inappropriate interaction between
parolees and school children. 

Please attend the community forum that will be held on
Saturday February 7, 2004 from 9:30 AM to noon in the
gymnasium at the Dallas F. Nicholas, Sr. Elementary
School, 201 East 21st Street. All concerned citizens
are invited. Light refreshments will be provided.
 
The community forum, organized by members of the
Barclay-Midway and Old Goucher Coalition, will provide
an opportunity for members of the public to express
their opinions about the Parole and Probation 
facility to City and State officials who have been
invited to attend. 

Presentations will be made about the proposed
expansion of the Parole and Probation facility at 2100
Guilford Avenue and about City efforts 
to find alternative sites for this facility. In
addition to Barclay, Midway, and Old Goucher, several
other nearby communities are supporting the Coalition
on this issue which affects all of north-central
Baltimore.
 
A press conference was held on Wednesday, February 4,
2004 at 2:30 PM in front of the Dallas F. Nicholas,
Sr.
Elementary School #39, 201 East 21st Street to bring
more attention to the issue of relocating the 
Parole and Probation facility and to publicize the
community forum. 

For more information, please contact community
organizers Sandra Coles at 410-889-0071 x15 or
410-366-7356 or Diane Mosley at 410-662-1262 or
410-215-8941.
