Job Board

Hey, Education Activists! Looking for a way to make a vocation of your avocation? Want to follow your passion? Do you believe that if you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life? Here's an opportunity!

Teach for America is looking for a Development Manager in Seattle.

Want to work for the District? There are exciting opportunities such as:

Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance



But, if you were thinking about the job as Manager of Advanced Learning, I'm afraid that job posting has been taken down for some time. The job hasn't been filled, they just aren't advertising it anymore.

I hope the Internal Auditor is in addition to Andrew Medina. I find him to be a very ethical auditor who welcomes input from parents.

If the non-profit Teach For America could only partner with the district in a combined position: TFA Dvelopment/SPS Advanced Learning Manager...It would save both organizations money and allow for the management of AL by developing TFA principles and staffing within AL while exporting AL principles and pedagogy out to the TFA network....

Look at the internal auditor position. It reports to the director of audit, so this looks like a position reporting to Mr. Medina.

The Team
Our team, including nearly 30 corps members and 300 alumni, has built strong and lasting partnerships within the unique communities of the larger Puget Sound area. And, although our experience has been marked by challenges, the momentum of our progress is rapidly accelerating. This coming year, we look forward to joining fellow communities in the Yakima Valley, forging new relationships, and working alongside our partners across the state to make excellence in education a reality for all students of Washington.

---- I see a reality gap.

'momentum of our progress is rapidly accelerating'?

Argh. The writer/editor in me flinches.

In fact, the decline of my pleasure is rapidly decreasing.

Please tell me that that wasn't written by a TFA grad teaching high school English. But it is a perfect addition to THIS thread

Signed: cheerful?

Okay, don't tell me they are looking to replace Andrew Medina....!

He is conscientious and speaks the truth. He is invaluable! If he's gone, then this district is in serious hurt.

Manager OT, waste?

VIDEO: KIRO 7 investigates Seattle Schools budget bust

Ugh! Will this be the tipping point for Pegi McEvoy? She was found to have misspent Fed grant monies in last summer's state audit.

Scratch that Assistant Superintendent for Business and Finance job. It's taken.

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...

Education News Roundup

From the ever-amusing Washington Policy Center : Vouchers are Pell Grants for students under 18.  Vouchers are no different than Pell Grants or GI benefits, except the money goes to the families of students younger than age 18.  Except they are. Pell Grants were created to help needy students and that's not really the goal of the voucher program.  The Pell grant website does have a couple of great studies on why low-income students drop out before finishing their higher ed and what makes a difference.
