Seattle Schools This Week
Monday
Start School Later Seattle will meet on Monday at 5pm at the Wayward Coffee House on 65th and Roosevelt (parking available off the alley).
Tuesday
Audit&Finance Committee Meeting from 4-6 pm. Agenda not available.
Wednesday
Executive Committee Meeting from 8-10:30 am. Agenda. Some of the topics include review of upcoming Board meeting agendas, government relations, "community engagement", Race&Equity policy, renewal of MOU with LEV for South Shore, and Creative Approach Schools update. Note: there is a "real estate negotiations" discussion that will be closed and start at 10 am.
This is, once again, quite a full agenda and I find it hard to believe they can get it all done in 2 hours. This all looks quite interesting and I hope someone can attend.
I'm also quite surprised at this idea of a "renewal" of the MOU with LEV when the original MOU was with the New School Foundation (an altogether different entity). My thought would be that they would have to renegotiate the entire thing. (Of course, LEV may be counting on getting the charter school initiative on the ballot, winning and then taking South Shore by conversion charter. That would not surprise me in the least.)
Oversight Work Session:Risk Management from 4-5:30 pm. No agenda available.
Oversight Work Session:Legal from 6-7 pm. No agenda available.

It depends on the grade level & math level of your student.
If your student took Algebra 1 or geometry this year, they will take the appropriate math EOC. If they took biology this year, they will take the science EOC.
If they are class of 2014 they have to pass one math EOC to graduate. So if they are beyond Algebra & geometry they would take the algebra EOC make-up exam. (Should have done that last year.)
If they are class of 2015 or later they will have to pass both math EOC exams to graduate. If they are beyond algebra & geometry & haven't had the EOC math exams,they will take the EOC make-up exams.
If they are 2015 or later they will have to pass the biology EOC exam to graduate.
Clear as mud. Just send your child with pencils & calculators.
