Our house got called today for opinion survey about public charter schools. Don't know who sponsored it. Fascinating to me is that they asked for my 18 yo son (who registered to vote on his birthday). This was one of four opinion survey calls for him in past three days. I don't think they were all from same firm, but am not sure. He doesn't use our landline so I'm not sure what the others wanted.

I got the same call.

I think the fellow working in the call center was a bit surprised by how well I knew the issue.

In honor of the Olympics, here's a link to "Top 10 British Words" from Merriam Webster:

Has Banda been meeting with parents? I haven't seen anything about him having community meetings. I would like him to meet with people outside of district HQ and outside of the PTA.

I would like him to hear about some of the issues that district personell probably wouldn't bring up. Not necessarily to hide anything, but because they have a different experience of the district than parents do.

Wondering, I suspect he's getting the lay of the land, hiring, etc. I think community meetings might happen after school starts (as summer is a bad time to have them with so many people gone/disconnected).

If anyone knows what recycle/sanitation workers on on strike about, I'd like to know. What are their grievances? Any links available? Thanks.

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.)

Breaking It Down: Where the District Might Close Schools

Update 2: an absolutely fabulous interactive map made by parent Beth Day (@thebethocracy on Twitter - she covers Board meetings and is fun to read).   end of update    Update 1: Mea culpa, I did indeed get Decatur and Thornton Creek mixed up. Thanks to all for the correction. end of update   I suspect some who read this post will be irate. Why do this? Because the district seems very hellbent on this effort with no oversight skid marks from the Board.    To clearly state - I do not believe that closing 20 schools is a good idea. I think they hit on 20 because they thought it might bring in the most savings. But the jury is still out on the savings because the district has not shown its work nor its data. I suspect closing schools and THEN leasing/renting them is the big plan but that means the district really has to keep the buildings up.   But this district, with its happy talk about "well-resourced schools" is NOT acknowledging the pain and yes, gr...

Nepotism in Seattle Schools

Update: Following a scandal at Aki Kurose Middle School, apparently the district has pulled the principal, Caine Lowery who leaves Aki for a promotion to Central Office to support/train/guide principals. Hmm. I also note that former Rainier View Elementary principal Anitra Jones, who was removed from that school, still doesn't show up on the staff roster at Rainier Beach High School where it was stated she would be. Where is she? Who knows?  end of update   This is going to be a difficult post to write because it is sad to see what looks like a norm now at JSCEE. The norm I speak of is largely an occurrence with principals as well as JSCEE senior staff. I also know that this is not going to surprise most who works at JSCEE. The norm I'm referring to is the one where some personnel have personal connections within the district that sees them moving between jobs and even getting promoted based on those relationships. In short, nepotism.  This district is risk-adverse wh...
