Here's the agenda for tonight's Board meeting. I note that people can no longer sign up to speak at a Board meeting by phone. It is strictly by online sign-up. Not good. Public Testimony seems to cover two topics. Apparently, the Chinese program at West Seattle High School is in jeopardy and there are several speakers for that issue. The other issue is, of course, school closures. There are six people on the waitlist. Here's the latest from the Times which says that " Seattle Could Close about a quarter of its elementary schools." First, that would be a heck of a lot of schools (17) and two, only elementaries? My cynical side is that the district is throwing out a big number so they can "generously" only close 10-12. The article claims that the district is taking "$32M from its reserves" which is not true; they have no reserves. I think the reporter means capital reserves. I'll be tuning in with updates. 4:15 pm and has the 4:15

Tied right into real estate ads and status.
If the status quo of neighborhood schools is questioned by raising gerrymandering or actual option schools, they "cry bussing" (a fake form of crying wolf).
In the meantime, the smug Seattle liberals can decry critics by saying, "I don't go private like the 30%."
Poor Me
It's your choice, but I would report that user's IP & ISP address and take legal action. Protect yourself.
