Is that Chris Jackins ???
Might this be about the MOU?

Turns out that under state law the Board cannot just abandon its responsibility by giving carte blanche for waiver authority to the superintendent as proposed in the MOU.
don't you think, Michael DeBell?
--enough already
Robust discussions would have served to make a better proposal. This proposal was pre-maturely pushed through the door.
It wasn't what was written in the MOU, but what WASN'T written- school board oversight- and it almost got passed the board. Intentional?
Does anyone else think there was an ENORMOUS amount of political pressure being placed on the board? Just think, if someone voted NO, they might have to deal with the wrath of Crosscut, Seattle Times Editorial Board and the Seattle Weekly. We've seen it before.
