Seattle Schools Community Forum

It happens every single time there are school board races - that it is VITAL to vote and get the right people on the Board. I will admit that last time, in trying to find good candidates for a couple of races, I certainly got fooled.  I really thought that Sharon Peaslee and Marty McLaren were change agents.  They did present themselves that way even as I realized they really didn't know the district well. My vetting of them found two fired-up women ready to come in and ask hard questions.  Well, that really didn't happen (or it was piecemeal and uneven). I read everything I could find online and attended five candidates forums.   Here are my picks for School Board, some with comments and some I just decided that I will let the candidates' words speak for themselves.

I was notified that Scott Pinkham - a School Board candidate in District 1 - found that his e-mail has been incorrectly reported at the public disclosure website.  It is incorrectly listed  in the main area as: ss4ssd@gmail.com But on his C1 form, the correct address is shown (and this is it): ssp4ssd@gmail.com (updated and confirmed by Pinkham - you have to watch those "s" in the email address). If you had been trying to contact Pinkham and received no answer, that may be why.
