Great Variety of Thought Over School Spending

On the eve of the first budget coming from the House is the latest NY Times Room for Debate section on "Is Improving Schools All About Money?"

I'll just simply say - after sitting through the Board Work Session yesterday that included next year's budget - yes it does.

But it matters HOW the money is spent (and SPS is a baffling example).  Naturally, as we wait for enactment of McCleary, it is also about fully funding basic education (which is not happening in our state). 

My favorite in the NY Times bunch is Lisa Delpit "Can we put the money to better use?" and her analogy of a gym membership.

Genuine, an expand's portion can be followed back to developing enlistments, better projects, and enhanced administrations for a specialized curriculum and different understudies, however a great part of the increment from write my paper for cheap is only a ton of spending without a considerable measure to appear for it. Also, given all the different weights on state spending plans.

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.)

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...
