Upcoming Seattle School Board Candidate Forums

There is this forum hosted by the Native Action Network and the Urban Native Education Alliance.

I heard there is one coming up hosted by the Alliance for Education and the SE Seattle Education Coalition, probably in October, but I cannot find anything solid at this point.

If you hear of others, please let me know and I will post them. I'm at   sss.westbrook@gmail.com

Good! I hope wherever and whomever organizes, are willing to be fair to all candidates and ask the hard questions:
Mizrahi: What are your ultimate political aspirations?
Clark: Are you able to make a commitment to SHOW UP and do justice to the position, understanding there are health needs that have and may be a challenge?
Smith: Are you aligned with Rankin?
White: How does your husband’s political views impact your vision for the district?
And drum roll please…
Song: Can you PLEASE once and for come clean and put all the election fraud rumors to rest? Were you endorsed by The Stranger because your husband partially owns it?

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).

Nepotism in Seattle Schools

Update: Following a scandal at Aki Kurose Middle School, apparently the district has pulled the principal, Caine Lowery who leaves Aki for a promotion to Central Office to support/train/guide principals. Hmm. I also note that former Rainier View Elementary principal Anitra Jones, who was removed from that school, still doesn't show up on the staff roster at Rainier Beach High School where it was stated she would be. Where is she? Who knows?  end of update   This is going to be a difficult post to write because it is sad to see what looks like a norm now at JSCEE. The norm I speak of is largely an occurrence with principals as well as JSCEE senior staff. I also know that this is not going to surprise most who works at JSCEE. The norm I'm referring to is the one where some personnel have personal connections within the district that sees them moving between jobs and even getting promoted based on those relationships. In short, nepotism.  This district is risk-adverse wh...
