Vote, Vote, Vote

Quite the weekend politically.  I'm not sure what else could be said except I'm a woman - a sister, a mother, a daughter - and I vote.

I think the NFL is going to see quite a drop in viewership for the Sunday night game because of a debate that could be the most incendiary one in history.

The deadline for online voter registration for the November 8th election is tomorrow (Monday, October 10th) If you're not already registered to vote at your current address, take care of it now.

The deadline for mail-in voter registration has passed (October 8th.)

The deadline for in-person registration is October 31st.  You can register to vote at the DMV if you are completing a transaction there.

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.)

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.
