Tuesday Open Thread

From #GivingTuesday's Facebook page:

If you are still looking to give back today, there's still plenty of time to have an impact! Donate to your favorite nonprofit or sign up to volunteer after #GivingTuesday. You can also give #probono, donate canned goods or clothing, or give blood. There's so many ways to give back - today is the perfect day to reach out to organizations in your community to see how you can help!

Support your favorite non-profit today!

The district says there could still be a school bus strike.

First Student and the bus driver union have not resolved their labor dispute and continue to negotiate. All families who use yellow school bus service need to have alternative plans to get their student to school in the event of a strike.

Any potential strike affects yellow bus riders. If your student gets to school using other district-provided methods (e.g. taxi, American Logistics), those services will not be disrupted.

We will continue to keep you updated as more information is available. If a strike is called, we will alert you by email, phone, website, social media and local broadcast news.

In their FAQs, the district is pretty clear - if there's a strike, you are on your own for transportation.  It's a bit unclear what happens to Special Education students; the district says students with provided private transport will continue to get that but that those students on the bus will be affected (how is not clear).

If bus drivers strike, how will we find out?
Should a strike be called, the district will immediately notify families these ways:

• Website posts (school and district)
• Our Facebook and Twitter pages
• A phone message and email, including messages in home language.

Only the families of those students who ride First Student buses will receive a phone message and email from the district. 

We will notify local media, which likely provide regular updates throughout any strike scenario. We also commit to announce the restoration of bus service as quickly as possible.

Then there is this letter (from the Seattle Special Education PTSA Facebook page) about a student data privacy breach:



Certainly it is good that the district has firewalls on its computers but there are also very savvy people out there who may hack the computer before the wipe happens.  I applaud the district for letting parents know because parents should always be notified if their student's data has been compromised.  The person who foolishly left a business laptop with the personal data of students in a car should be held accountable.  That's not just a "whoops" - that's a grave error.

Looks like many districts will be going to voters for various levy/bond measures, including Bellevue that will have three (one for operations, one for capital needs and one for new school buses).  They are asking for a Feb. 2018 election.

What's on your mind?
