Seattle Schools Week of March 29-June 1

Wednesday, May 30th
Work Session: Special Education from 4-5:30 p.m. at JSCEE - no agenda available yet.

Thursday has two great events on solutions, yes solutions, that education experts are going to be presenting to parents and communities.  I have a feeling that this discussion will not be around charters, testing and TFA so if you want to hear different expert voices, attend one of these meetings.

Thursday, May 31st
Community &  Parents for Public Schools (CPPS) Annual Meeting from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at JSCEE

Agenda: CPPS Highlights for Year, Parents' Bill of Rights Overview, Guest Speakers, Board Election. 
"Building Quality Neighborhood Public Schools: What Can We Do?"
Speakers:  Dr. Margery B. Ginsberg, Associate Professor of Education at UW and co-director of the AIM Center at Cleveland High School
Dr. Joshua Garcia, Federal Way Public Schools' Assistant Superintendent of Teaching for Learning.
