Board Work Session On Monday
Update: the Board had the Work Session and apparently feel the need/pressure for more engagement with the public.
Therefore, the Board will still be having the scheduled community forum on August 8th at Rainier Beach High School with all 12 candidates. Then, on August 21st, they will narrow the field from 12 to 3 candidates.
After that, they will also have a second forum on September 11th (venue/time TBA). It was stated that more families would be back from vacation and school will have started.
The final decision will come not on August 14th but on September 18th. No idea if the change of dates will impact any of the candidates.
It was reported that the only candidates present were Emijah Smith and Julie Van Arcken.
Apparently Director Mack was not present and Director DeWolf was, of course, late.
End of update
The Seattle School Board will have a Work Session on Monday,July 15 from 4:30-6:00 pm to discuss the on-going process of choosing a successor to retiring Director Betty Patu. I would assume they will discuss both narrowing the field (from 12 down to say, 3-4) and what kind of matrix they might use in selecting a new director.
Weirdly, it says it is to be held in the Board conference room at the JSCEE but I suspect that will be far too small to hold the number of people who are likely to attend. I look for this to move to the auditorium.
