Tell Seattle School Board to Say No to Latest City Preschool Agreement
I will add onto this thread soon about what the discussion was at the last Board meeting about the newest agreement with the City about their Seattle Preschool Program. But a reader sent me a letter she had written to the Board that sums it up nicely but here it is in a nutshell: The District CANNOT be left on the hook for any kind of operating dollars or administrative dollars for the SPP. Period. The Board - via several members like Peters, Peaslee and Carr - have made that abundantly clear every single step of the way. And yet District staff and the City now have it set up for the District to take on more costly work. I remind everyone that even the City - in an e-mail about this issue - said that the District's "mandate" is K-12. No one, for any reason, should take their eye off that mandate.
