Seattle Legislative Delegation Visits Board Meeting Last Night

A good, brief wrap-up from SCPTSA's Eden Mack: Last night at the Seattle School Board meeting, Senators David Frockt , Jeanne Kohl-Welles , Jamie Pedersen and Representative Gerry Pollet were there to receive recognition for securing $25 million for capital funding.  I was there to ask that SPS make their legislative agenda more clearly state that fully funding per the court's orders was the #1 priority, and that they continue to advocate for funding the school buildings we desperately need.  They all said in their remarks (essentially) that they know that this amount is a drop in the bucket compared to what is needed.
