Seattle Schools Community Forum

Monday, October 29th Work Session on the Strategic Plan from 4:30-6:00 pm at JSCEE.

Here's my op-ed at Crosscut along with the pro side. I'm putting both in because I'm a fair person AND because I want you read the detail in my side versus the pro side. Because, yes, the devil is in the details. I watched the Seattle Channel panel on the various ballot issues including Prop 1.  Two panelists think it will pass, mostly because it's "an established levy" but Joel Connelly of the PI says that when Mayor Durkin was running she said she would have "mercy" and there would be no doubling of levies except for mental health issues.  So much for that campaign promise here. Vote NO on Prop 1.

 Congrats to Hawthorne Elementary :

This news comes from the Tukwila School District which announced today that he will become their interim superintendent on November 1.

Congrats to Ballard High principal, Kevin Wynkoop , who was selected as Washington Library Association Principal of the Year by the Washington Library Association.
