About Posting Comments

 I do have a couple of upcoming posts but I wanted to message to readers two items. One, I've said over and over. Two is a new one for me. 

Again, I will not print your comment without some kind of name or moniker. You are wasting your time sending them. 

But also, I will not link to AI-generated videos. Someone sent me one on the issues at Intergency and their principal. But there is nothing there as to who generated that video. 

It's ok to have AI-generated voices but I need to know who made the video. You can write to me and tell me privately - sss.westbrook@gmail.com - but I cannot just put up random videos. It forces me to take the time to listen to make sure it is coherent as well as making sure I won't get sued.

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...
