About the Blog

Gentle readers,

Because of a serious and on-going family need and because I want to concentrate on a couple of key public education issues, I will be dialing back on my work here at the blog.

I also want to concentrate on the coming School Board and City Council races which will have direct impacts on Seattle Schools.  I am even considering a run for the Board myself (that would be in District III, the post currently held by Director Martin-Morris).

The family issue makes my schedule erratic so I may not cover committee/board meetings as I have in the past.  As well, I may not be able to follow breaking issues as quickly.

I will be able to continue the Tuesday and Friday Open Threads.

As we have said in the past about the blog, we are always glad to have readers send submissions.  Of course, Charlie or I have to vet them but we want more voices and this is a good time to hear from you.  Again, send a submission to either Charlie or myself.

Regretfully, I won't be able to answer any e-mail queries for the forseeable future.

Fear not.  I have eyes and ears in many corners so if something comes up, I will likely know and (hopefully) be able to report to you about it.  (So don't anyone break out the champagne - I'm not going anywhere.)  Do continue to send tips/event notices.

Melissa W.

P.S. I appreciate DW's good wishes but I had intended to have this thread with no comments.

Take care of your family Melissa. That's always number one. We'll do okay here for a while you scale back, though if your posts will be much less frequent, perhaps you might want to consider a 3/week Open Thread schedule?

I don't know whether your family matters are readily fixable or resolvable, but you have my sincere best wishes. Good luck.

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, grief, that is to come fro

MEETING CANCELED - Hey Kids, A Meeting with Three(!) Seattle Schools Board Directors

 Update 2: So I have seen a message from President Liza Rankin on why she, Director Evan Briggs, and Director Michelle Sarju backed out of this meeting.  In a nutshell: - She says there was no organization to the meeting which is just not true. They had a moderator lined up and naturally the board members could have set parameters for what to discuss, length of meeting, etc. All that was fleshed out. - She also claimed that if the meeting was PTA sponsored, they needed to have liability insurance to use the school space. Hello? PTAs use school space all the time and know they have to have this insurance.  - She seems to be worried about the Open Public Meetings law. Look, if she has a meeting in a school building on a non-personnel topic, it should be an open meeting. It appears that Rankin is trying, over and over, to narrow the window of access that parents have to Board members. She even says in her message - "...with decisions made in public." Hmmm - She also says that th
