Here is the PP deck for the SAP meeting which has been renamed to "Integrated Planning." Integrated planning is both boundaries and facilities.

Off Topic, but I wanted to put this call for assistance out there.... so much change and chaos and sadness for so many communities - Summit, Pathfinder, Nova, AAA, TT Minor and all the others I cant name off the top of my head - each community needing support and help...

Hi AS#1 community --
My name is Dan Landers; I have an incoming eighth grader (Ellie Carder-Landers) who has been at Summit K-12 since kindergarten. I'm actually writing on behalf of Carolyn Kyle, a longtime Summit staffer now joining the AS#1 community.

Carolyn needs any help she can get in the next couple days boxing "book group" books (larger sets of novels, etc.) for transfer from Summit K-12 to AS#1. There is a great collection and variety remaining available at Summit's library, and the district will move anything boxed and ready to go at the end of the week.

What we're needing is volunteers to help organize, box and label the books.

If anyone can spare some time, please contact Carolyn Kyle. Her e-mail is cekyle@seattleschools.org and school phone is 252-4488.

Thank you.

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, gr...

Education News Roundup

From the ever-amusing Washington Policy Center : Vouchers are Pell Grants for students under 18.  Vouchers are no different than Pell Grants or GI benefits, except the money goes to the families of students younger than age 18.  Except they are. Pell Grants were created to help needy students and that's not really the goal of the voucher program.  The Pell grant website does have a couple of great studies on why low-income students drop out before finishing their higher ed and what makes a difference.
