School-Level Budgeting
A thread was requested on school-level budgeting that is occurring over the next couple of weeks.
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.)

Does anyone know the rationale of why the school still needs a third administrator to help the administrators do their job vs. spending the additional funding on to support student learning/academics like other schools?
NOTE: The principal just submitted the 2012-2013 budget to include the third administrator for the third year in a row. Staff were not given an option to vote on that did NOT include the third administrator.
No other K-8 school with 625 students appear to have a third administrator.
-thinking $$$ should help students/teachers NOT administrators
the reason for the third administrator at Broadview-Thomson is because the principal can't handle the job as other principals are required to do.....the funds being spent on a third administrator should be spent on direct support for student learning as the school is a failing school according to NCLB...
then why is no one holding the principal accountable?
