District Extends Time for Feedback on D7 Candidates

From SPS Communications:


On Wednesday, Sept. 11, a second School Board District VII Candidate Forum was held at the Rainier Beach High School Performing Arts Center. During this forum, the three finalists answered questions from the community.

Visit YouTube to watch recordings of the candidate forum:
·         Part 1 Forum Recording
·         Part 2 Forum Recording

The forum feedback form, available here, has been extended to Tuesday, Sept. 17 10 a.m. as links to the forum video were not initially included with the feedback form. 

These video links were, however, previously included in an email to families on Thursday, Sept. 12, and video from the forum has been included in SPS-TV broadcasts.

Well it's kind of funny as I got the email on the 12th but I didn't receive the one above. Was that not sent to everybody? Did it only go out to media?

This wasn't an email; it was a communication the district put out today via Twitter (and they sent one to me because I was the one who complained).

@MW,
You are not the only one that complained so you are not the only one that got this. Thanks for sharing though.

Well that's one upmanship.. The district has asked the southeast repeatedly how would you like to be communicated to. The answer has been not electronically. So now you get a tweet of a correction from them not doing as they said they would. Ready. Fire. Aim should be the new motto. (I also let them know the links weren't there on Friday but I felt fortunate to get somebody on the line after 4:00 p.m. and they sent the links over to me.)

Hopefully the extra time will be meaningful and the Board Members get responses that they value.

Thank you to all who spoke up; it's important.

I am still not happy that you can vote more than once and I don't know how the vote totals will affect the Board vote.

I also realized that not only could there be a 3-3 tie; there could also be a 2-2-2 tie.
Given who the directors voted for to get to three, it could go like this:

Smith - Geary, DeWolf
Hersey - Harris, Pinkham
Van Arcken - Burke, Mack

I don't know how they will signal each other to change their vote - maybe a bat signal.

I would think unless something comes up before Wednesday that is game changing they are know who is going through. Respectfully, and for good reason,no candidate will not get a first vote. They will then "decide" who it is. No insider info just what I see is the only way to do this. Seriously no reason to draw stones on this someone will give. 2-2-2 first vote might even be classiest thing to do.

I'd go for class

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.)

Breaking It Down: Where the District Might Close Schools

Update 2: an absolutely fabulous interactive map made by parent Beth Day (@thebethocracy on Twitter - she covers Board meetings and is fun to read).   end of update    Update 1: Mea culpa, I did indeed get Decatur and Thornton Creek mixed up. Thanks to all for the correction. end of update   I suspect some who read this post will be irate. Why do this? Because the district seems very hellbent on this effort with no oversight skid marks from the Board.    To clearly state - I do not believe that closing 20 schools is a good idea. I think they hit on 20 because they thought it might bring in the most savings. But the jury is still out on the savings because the district has not shown its work nor its data. I suspect closing schools and THEN leasing/renting them is the big plan but that means the district really has to keep the buildings up.   But this district, with its happy talk about "well-resourced schools" is NOT acknowledging the pain and yes, grief, that is to come fro

MEETING CANCELED - Hey Kids, A Meeting with Three(!) Seattle Schools Board Directors

 Update 2: So I have seen a message from President Liza Rankin on why she, Director Evan Briggs, and Director Michelle Sarju backed out of this meeting.  In a nutshell: - She says there was no organization to the meeting which is just not true. They had a moderator lined up and naturally the board members could have set parameters for what to discuss, length of meeting, etc. All that was fleshed out. - She also claimed that if the meeting was PTA sponsored, they needed to have liability insurance to use the school space. Hello? PTAs use school space all the time and know they have to have this insurance.  - She seems to be worried about the Open Public Meetings law. Look, if she has a meeting in a school building on a non-personnel topic, it should be an open meeting. It appears that Rankin is trying, over and over, to narrow the window of access that parents have to Board members. She even says in her message - "...with decisions made in public." Hmmm - She also says that th
