New Head of Curriculum and Instruction at SPS
Curious but this from the Tri-City Herald:
The Kennewick School District announced Friday that Wendy London, who has served on the Kennewick School Board since 2007, will resign her position effective July 20.
London will be the new director of curriculum and instruction in the Seattle School District.
London was up for election this fall and faced challenger Ron Mabry in her race.

That still begs the question of why 2 positions unless Thompson would subsequently move elsewhere like an ed director. All conjecture but that's the only way I can see this as a justified expense.
have criminal justice backgrounds.
--wonder if you'd find that at Lakeside?
-want my school safe
This is a demonstration of their commitment to transparency.
Maybe it will be mentioned at the Board meeting tonight during the Curriculum and Instruction update.
-waiting for more info
-feeling encouraged
Signed,
interested in doing it right
The District doesn't have a set protocol for announcing new hires. It's a system they will have to institute. It may be that this hire wouldn't rate an announcement. It may be news in Kennewick but not in Seattle.

Not that it's actually relevant, but I'm reminded that we had a former police chief teaching art at Lakeside when I was there. He was an, erm, interesting fellow. He could perfectly well have been among the more brilliant teachers there (and many still think he was), but he had some really nasty streaks.

I sure hope she's Anna-Maria's replacement.
