Tuesday Open Thread
Garfield is now only allowing juniors to take the PSAT.This year all Garfield 11th graders will have the opportunity to take the PSAT. Unfortunately due to space constraints we will not be able to test any other students.
Apparently, 10th graders can still get a practice take-home test. As was pointed out to me, this is a blow to low-income students. Anyone know if this is happening at other high schools?
Robert Eagle Staff MS parents are extremely concerned about pedestrian conditions around their school and are urging parents to contact the City Council.
We are extremely disappointed in the approach that the City and SDOT have taken with respect to safety on 90th. As we understand their response, they are "hoping" to have the no parking signs, 20 mph flashing lights, rectangular rapid flashing beacon (pedestrian triggered), and painted crossings by the end of October. But implemention could happen at the end of December, or it could happen sometime in the spring.“It is urgent that the fixes be applied prior to the end of October. Waiting longer is an unacceptable and dangerous risk. We are approaching that time of year when the rains come, when it is dark, drivers have poor visibility, and the roadway is slippery making stopping more difficult and increasing the likelihood of a kid slipping while darting across the road between traffic. Worse, we are approaching the October rains when pavement markings cannot be applied, possibly delaying them until spring."
The City's response to this issue is unacceptable. Our kids lives depend on these safety provisions! Please help us push SDOT to reprioritize our children's safety by completing promised safety revisions before dark and rainy winter weather sets in!

“The entire city planning process has failed our kids. It's not like the school just arrived from outer space. The City has been reviewing the plans for three and half years. In 2015, worried that adequate planning wasn't taking place, community groups began their own planning effort. They applied for and received two grants totalling $2.2 million in 2016. The City Council was informed ... and then ... well you see the result."

I note that Garfield's football team took a knee at their last game, to protest injustice in this country. Is this happening at any other high schools this year?
I'm going to the BEX V Work Session today. What are the key facilities issues that you think that levy should address?
What's on your mind?
