This may only be a partial list of reasons; please, add anything else in the comments. The deadline to file to run for the Board is May 19th. Entire Board Majority NOT vetting the Superintendent in any way, shape or form. Even the Seattle Times thought that was wrong. It was just absolute hubris and it was wrong. For the second time in just over a year , board members voted to negotiate a superintendent contract during a special meeting with no opportunity for public comment. This time, they showed an even deeper disregard for their responsibilities as public servants: Aborting a national search for a new superintendent and denying Interim Superintendent Brent Jones a chance to show students, parents and taxpayers that, indeed, he is the best person for the job. Government bodies can’t fast-forward through transparent processes just because they think they know the right answer. One other odd thing about the hiring of Brent Jones - most permanent SPS superintendent contracts ar

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?
