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.)

--Snow Job
Most of my immediate neighbors and I have been very diligent about keeping paths and drains cleared (and diverting runoff into them) and the difference is remarkable.

I'm not sure exactly what the problem is in Seattle, but in the Northshore district there were multiple problems. A number of schools were still without power. As of yesterday afternoon, the Inglemoor HS parking lot still had a foot of snow.
The communication from the Northshore district superintendent Michelle Reid has been excellent.

Lucky that your part of town HAS sidewalks. Things are a little trickier with rainwater runoff ditches along the side of the road (under snow), a high berm of plowed snow/slush/ice along the side, and no sidewalks.
