Bell Times Update
With just about 24 hours until the vote on bell times, here comes more info.
First, the district has released a Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the change.
As well, KPLU's Kyle Stokes is tweeting this:
FYI@seapubschools updated the new bell times proposal — everything time-shifted 5 minutes. My updated spreadsheet: http://bit.ly/1k8RNZ5
I’m checking with@seapubschools whether bell times shift really will override current 7-hour day at @RainierBeachHS http://bit.ly/1k8RNZ5
His spreadsheet is a wonder.

I apologize for being slow with this acknowledgement of your email. Please know that all parent and community input about the Bell Times initiative has been carefully considered. Because of that, there is a slight possibility of some change in the final recommendation from the Superintendent, to be posted on the Seattle Public Schools website by 6:15 PM on Monday. Weighing the important health benefits that the most recent draft recommendations afford our secondary students, I do expect that I will vote to support the Superintendent's final recommendation to the Board.

Strange to shift bell times by 5 minutes, but at least the middle and high school times are still aligned at 8:45 am. Sounds like the few elementary and K-8 schools unhappy with Tier 3 will have the chance to move into Tier 1, so that is an improvement.
I hope the Board votes in favor of the recommendation tomorrow.

Where did this happen? Even one school? Bueller? Bueller?
Tired of the subject doesn't mean you don't engage.
Another staff fail.
