I'll just note that, at this point, it's not entirely clear who is the Lincoln community except for those who live close-by the school.Good for Director Burke for being detail-oriented and keeping the community updated.
From Director Burke (bold mine):
Dear Lincoln Community,
I have two updates to share with you today. I’m pleased to announce that Ruth Medsker has been selected to become the Planning Principal at Lincoln High School. Her start date will be July 1. We have also secured a date for the next Lincoln community meeting to be held the evening of Tuesday, May 23rd.
In consultation with the Chief of Curriculum and Instruction and the Chief of Schools, Ruth Medsker was chosen for this role for many reasons, including her experience and strengths in leadership, planning, communication, and collaboration, as well as her extensive knowledge and understanding of the myriad of systems associated with the opening of a school. She will begin her new position in July, as she leads the opening of the first comprehensive high school Seattle Public Schools has opened since Nathan Hale High School in 1963.
Ms. Medsker has served in a variety of teaching and administrative roles in Seattle Public Schools, including: Special Education teacher, Assistant Principal, Principal, and Executive Director of Schools, and most recently principal of West Seattle High School. Currently, in addition to leading West Seattle High School, she is also serving as a Principal on Assignment, co-leading the 24 Credit Task Force, tasked with bringing the high school programs in Seattle into alignment with the new graduation requirement enacted by the Washington State Legislature.
Her work in the coming year will include extensive community engagement with students and families in the Northwest and Northeast regions of the city; regular planning work with the facilities and planning teams of both Seattle Public Schools and the assigned contractors working on the project; beginning the assembly of a leadership team that will assist in the formation of the core faculty for mission, vision, curriculum, and planning work; and regular community meetings with the surrounding Wallingford community as the school comes to life, opening on Fall of 2019.
Ms. Medsker’s professional preparation includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Washington State University and a Master of School Administration from Western Washington University.
I’m excited for the leadership and innovation that Principal Medsker will bring to Lincoln High School, and look forward to ongoing community dialogue as we work through the complex planning process over the next two years. Ms. Medsker will introduce herself in person at the next Lincoln High School community meeting which will be held on Tuesday, May 23rd. Details about this meeting are being finalized and will be communicated to families and community next week.
Thanks for all the ideas and enthusiasm over the last 6 months – Lincoln is going to be amazing!
With kind regards,
Rick Burke
Director SPS Dist. II
