She is now taking on 3 positions? Co-principal at Hale, planning principal at Lincoln, and 24-credit policy planner? Where is the district with the 3x5 scheduling idea? Is that still on the table as part of meeting the 24-credit requirement??<br /><br />-parentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-32752490837825816422016-08-21T11:25:18.816-07:002016-08-21T11:25:18.816-07:00So many teacher job openings on the SPS web-site. ...So many teacher job openings on the SPS web-site.

She introduces herself as the new 'Co-Principal' at Hale.<br /><br />From the email,<br />"Things may appear a little different this year at Nathan Hale. We have a few key changes you need to be aware of as we kick off the 2016-17 school year. <br /><br />Nathan Hale principal, Dr. Jill Hudson, will be on special assignment this school year working with the community and district principals to change Seattle School Board policies and create plans to implement the new graduation requirements, including the 24 credit and High School & Beyond Plan." <br /><br />Also from the email..."• Dr. Hudson and Mrs. Grimes Edwards will be co-principals for the 2016-2017 school year only"<br /><br />Does anyone know the back story on this change? It strikes me as odd that this message came from Mrs. Grimes Edwards vs. Dr. Hudson.<br /><br />Is this retribution for SBAC testing at Hale?<br /><br />-StepJ<br /><br />StepJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375599834945035820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-41121680888897878652016-08-19T11:14:06.490-07:002016-08-19T11:14:06.490-07:00Also, I should note that I presented the resolutio...Also, I should note that I presented the resolution and mention it here in my personal capacity only. The WPD Board has not reviewed or taken any action on the resolution. I mentioned my WPD email address above because it's the one I usually hand out for education purposes, but it's likely best to email my personal email which is my name at google.<br /><br />Summer StinsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-18726499178276750902016-08-19T11:04:57.062-07:002016-08-19T11:04:57.062-07:00Thanks as always, Melissa, for your thoughtful rep...Thanks as always, Melissa, for your thoughtful reporting and keeping us informed about education news! <br /><br />I have a small correction to offer. While I presented the resolution encouraging the Seattle City Council to declare a school capacity crisis in Seattle and to provide a funding stream to address the crisis, I did not author it. (The 36th had lots of questions but no opposition and unanimously supported the resolution!) Sarajane Siegfriedt and Eden Mack wrote it. The are scheduling meetings with school board members to request formal support. They are also looking for a City Council sponsor. If any of your readers would like to help present this resolution to a legislative district, organization, school board member, or city council member, please email me (Summer@paramountduty.org) and I'll pass the info along to Sarajane and Eden. Thank you!<br /><br />Summer StinsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
