If You See Something, Say Something, Please

Via the City of Covington's Facebook page - please, if you see something that doesn't seem right, say something. Please tell your child it is not tattling or snitching; it's doing the right thing.

Since you didn't allow comments on your post re TCG here we go:
First of all I am sorry for your loss.
Then let me tell you have disappointed I am to see you cannot let go of your grudges. You let your hatred get in the way of informing people that come here for whatever they come her (I find your writing amusing in your best days and ridiculous on your worst - I do a lot of eye rolling).
Your last comment about how she brings whatever you think she feels into the schools she visits is ill-intended. You are messing with someone's job and how they make a living. This is your hobby.

I would encourage you to check yourself and dig deep. There has to be a reason why you can't possibly let go.


I debated between staying anonymous and signing my name. Because you will never forgive me for calling you out I chose to use a moniker. But believe me when I say I am not TCG, and I really don't care who else attacks you or you attack. Do something more productive. Life is short.



PEACE

I didn't start this.

It would be a waste of energy hating her. I think she's more sad and pathetic than anything else and probably her own worst enemy. (Am I the one who caused the Superintendent to tell her to not directly contact the Super or the Board? Nope, she did that all by herself.)

I'm messing with someone's job? She came at me and has continued on. So where's the sympathy for my reputation, my brand and my work? Because I don't get paid, that all means nothing? Anyone would defend themselves.

I am being productive - my stats here have never been higher. I have been astonished but more and more posts are getting over 1,000 hits.

The people I know are those with integrity. Clearly, not your strong point if you can't sign your name. (Hint: if you have to write - "but believe me"- no one is going to believe you.)

I would encourage you to check yourself and dig deep. There has to be a reason why you keep coming to this blog.

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
