Update : From SPS Communications about the EIS: This  This is a state requirement for large programmatic changes within the District.  Legal advised us to conduct the EIS for the bell time change as part of the feasibility study (as they would do for any such possible change that the state could deemed impactful to the environment).  They reviewed the language, consulted our SEPA attorney and determined that this is required under the statute. We will be speaking to this at the Task Force meeting. is a state requirement for large programmatic changes within the District.  Legal advised us to conduct the EIS for the bell time change as part of the feasibility study (as they would do for any such possible change that the state could deemed impactful to the environment).

Updates: - Forgot about the meeting about the naming of the schools at the Wilson-Pacific site on Monday, the 4th at Lincoln at 6:30 pm. -  I was mistaken about the issue of Coe Elementary's library naming.

End of updates Lots of activity in the district this week. Entire week - Teacher Appreciation Week (the district only has Tuesday as Teacher Appreciation Day but I looked it up - it's the whole week). Say thank you to a teacher.  FYI, remember your favorite teacher K-12? They are aging and if you want to let them know how much they meant to you, time's a'wastin'. Tuesday,  May 5th  Operations Committee Meeting of the Whole from 4:30-6:30 pm. Agenda?  What agenda? It's now 48 hours from...

Tuesday, April 29th This date sees two Work Sessions ; both closed.  They run from 4:30-7:30 pm.  I am a bit puzzled by these as the calendar notation has one about HR and is an open session and the other as a closed Executive Session.  But I went to the agenda and now both are notated as "Closed" sessions.  I thought an Executive Session was always closed any way and also why are both now closed? The HR presentation is still linked.
