So the tasks should all be within her power, authority, and control.<BR/><BR/>I have been impatient for change, and I have been disappointed with the pace of the change, but I am starting to see something up ahead. It isn't the change - that is not yet in sight - it's the corner that we hope to turn. I don't know how encouraging that is to anyone else, but I have been here a long time and it is pretty darn exciting for me.<BR/><BR/>We still have a long way to go before we get to that corner, and even then, we're going to have trouble turning it. But at least it's on the map.Charlie Mashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17173903762962067277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-50626213541833166572008-05-14T10:13:00.000-07:002008-05-14T10:13:00.000-07:00I just received this by email:The NE Coalition wil...I just received this by email:<BR/><BR/>The NE Coalition will be addressing a list of concerns at the SUPERINTENDENT’S STRATEGIC PLAN, Community meeting tonight.<BR/> <BR/>Roosevelt High School, Wednesday, May 14th, 7 – 8:30 in the Library<BR/><BR/>The NE Cluster Coalition, a group of concerned parents from the NE cluster, have identified a few key issues that we want the district to address; they include the opening of a new grade school and middle school in the NE cluster in time for the 09-10 enrollment process. And, reducing existing school size to levels that allow for continued enrichment programs such as science, art and music.<BR/><BR/>We ask that you show your support and concern with your attendance, clapping for questions that you want answered and asking the questions that will support the entire cluster, grade K – 12. If new schools are to be opened in time for the 09-10 school year, decisions must be made now!anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03716725891562757052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-39209080318192304452008-05-14T09:08:00.000-07:002008-05-14T09:08:00.000-07:00Please clarify the specific date of the meeting at...Please clarify the specific date of the meeting at West Seattle High School.

I agree that the website is confusing and it's hard to find updated info on it. Keeping it updated and clear with links that don't drop would be such an easy way to improve the district's image......Teachermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04595356843606376723noreply@blogger.com
