Tell Your Search for K-12 School on KUOW
From KUOW's The Conversation producer, David Hyde:
We’re doing a show tomorrow that’s tentatively titled, “what are you doing to get your kid into K-12 school? (public or private).”
I’m looking for people who can tell us their personal stories on the air sometime between 12:40 and 1 pm tomorrow. If you know anyone with an interesting story to tell please pass this on, and I can call in the morning to discuss it (between 9 and 10:30 am). I would need two numbers: the 12:40 and 1 pm number (land line). And the morning / backup cell number.
Or if any of your blog readers is interested, they can call our feedback line and leave a message (with contact information) @ 206 221 3663.

THAT would have been an interesting story, too..."What are you doing to advocate for A k-12 school in your district so your child can go to it?"
That's a good story.
That IS a story KUOW should report on. I hope they do. The story about getting IN to public schools is much less interesting: For many families, I suspect, public schools are the default. But when you have to get your student OUT because LRE isn't offered...THAT is the story.
-Sad, But True, or Desperate Times Call For.... (both signatures seem fitting right now)
Is it an individual set of programs, greater availability of services because there's more or more flexible money, an individual who is more responsive?
Wow. The sending your keys back to the bank in order to get special education is heavy duty. I hope you do get that on KUOW, covers several stories at once and has drama.
