Just had a chance to check out David Blomstrom's website

He seems like a nut to me. Here is an excerpt from the main page of his new website, seattle-mafia.org

"I’m running for a seat on the Seattle School Board. Specifically, I’m gunning for the seat that oversees District III, the seat currently occupied by board a lying, conniving whore named Brita Butler-Wall. Learn more at http://2007.seattle-mafia.org/"

In addition Mr. Blomstrom has pictures on his website of Seattle School board members, and Gov Locke, with swasticas on them, and they pop up as you are looking through his site. What a wacko.

It looks like Harium Martin-Morris will be our next board director for dist 3.

RE: District 3

Brita isn't running.

Bloomstrom is obviously insane

Does this mean that Harium Marin-Morris will take the election by default? Does this mean that no matter what his stand, platform or views, he will be elected as there is nobody to challenge him?

Wow.

Does anybody know Peter Maier's position on any issue? His website is very uninformative, other than to provide his resume and a list of endorsements.

I guess this gives some ammo to those who think that appointed school boards are the way to go.

We (the voting public) can't even find two sane candidates to run against each other!

For what it's worth, Blomstrom worked as a substitute teacher at various Seattle public schools in the 90s. He seems to have despised every school administrator he ever met, especially John Stanford. His embittered memories of working for the district and his denuncation of the Seattle "education mafia" appear at:

There is a District map on the school district web site. Check the School Board pages.

Director districts may change, there is census-based redistricting. I would expect that prior to the primary any redistricting will be announced/voted on by the board.

Hello all,

Note that in the primary, only voters who live in that particular director district will vote. The general election, however, is city-wide.

Hmmmm... I'm a nut because I call Brita Butler-Wall a lying, conniving whore, eh? So what does that make all the north end mom's who VOTED for that lying, conniving whore? It's so sad that children have to pay the price for their stupidity.

Discovering the "swasticas" on my website, north end mom decides I'm "wacko."

Note: It's spelled swastiKa, Einstein.

Later, she writes, "Bloomstrom is obviously insane."

At least I know how to spell my name.

Then north end mom whines...

"Does this mean that Harium Marin-Morris will take the election by default? Does this mean that no matter what his stand, platform or views, he will be elected as there is nobody to challenge him?"

What it means is that people like north end mom will always choose business as usual over a candidate who threatens to upset the apple cart.

Oh, how inspirational! You're correct in that the public has done a lousy job of recruiting good candidates. But your solution is to just give up altogether? Sheez, why not just let Boeing and Microsoft appoint the Seattle City Council and Mayor while you're at it?

No, I worked as a substitute during 80's, idiot. I got a permanent position about 1990.

"He seems to have despised every school administrator he ever met, especially John Stanford."

Well, I'm especially no fan of school officials who are corrupt, tyrannical or grossly incompetent - and there are no shortage of those bums.

Huh? I don't understand your question. I call a spade a spade, therefore I must be - what, too intelligent to be a teacher? Too outspoken? Are you saying teachers should be seen and not heard?

Seriously, it's sad that there are so many teachers and parents like "north end mom" an "anonymous." That's the real reason our schools have been in steady decline since the 1960's.

Grow up, folks.

Tuesday Open Thread

The speaker list is up for the Board meeting tomorrow; not as packed as I thought with just four people on the waitlist. The majority of the speakers are speaking on high school boundaries (with several wanting to talk about Ballard High). There are only three of us speaking about the Green Dot resolution asking the City to not grant the zoning departures that Green Dot has requested.  It's me, long-time watchdog, Chris Jackins, and the head of the Washington State Charter Schools Association, Patrick D'Amelio.  (I knew Mr. D'Amelio when he headed the Alliance for Education and Big Brothers and Big Sisters; he's a stand-up guy.)

Breaking It Down: Where the District Might Close Schools

Update 2: an absolutely fabulous interactive map made by parent Beth Day (@thebethocracy on Twitter - she covers Board meetings and is fun to read).   end of update    Update 1: Mea culpa, I did indeed get Decatur and Thornton Creek mixed up. Thanks to all for the correction. end of update   I suspect some who read this post will be irate. Why do this? Because the district seems very hellbent on this effort with no oversight skid marks from the Board.    To clearly state - I do not believe that closing 20 schools is a good idea. I think they hit on 20 because they thought it might bring in the most savings. But the jury is still out on the savings because the district has not shown its work nor its data. I suspect closing schools and THEN leasing/renting them is the big plan but that means the district really has to keep the buildings up.   But this district, with its happy talk about "well-resourced schools" is NOT acknowledging the pain and yes, grief, that is to come fro

MEETING CANCELED - Hey Kids, A Meeting with Three(!) Seattle Schools Board Directors

 Update 2: So I have seen a message from President Liza Rankin on why she, Director Evan Briggs, and Director Michelle Sarju backed out of this meeting.  In a nutshell: - She says there was no organization to the meeting which is just not true. They had a moderator lined up and naturally the board members could have set parameters for what to discuss, length of meeting, etc. All that was fleshed out. - She also claimed that if the meeting was PTA sponsored, they needed to have liability insurance to use the school space. Hello? PTAs use school space all the time and know they have to have this insurance.  - She seems to be worried about the Open Public Meetings law. Look, if she has a meeting in a school building on a non-personnel topic, it should be an open meeting. It appears that Rankin is trying, over and over, to narrow the window of access that parents have to Board members. She even says in her message - "...with decisions made in public." Hmmm - She also says that th
