Tuesday Open Thread
I am behind on stories but will be doing much more towards the end of the week including:- charter school lawsuit
- departures from zoning ordinances for Green Dot charter group and possible ramifications for the relationship between the City and the district/Board
- Lincoln high updates
Is the Cat in the Hat Black? That's the name of a new book and the interview in the Washington Post with its author is insightful and engaging.
WASDA (Washington Association of School Directors) is having a conference in May 2018 called Equity: From Boardroom to Classroom. This as equity continues as the word of the year in public education (that's my call).
Here's commitment: Board President Leslie Harris will be holding a community meeting on December 23rd from3-5 pm @ Delridge Library.
Here's a great tool from GO Oakland about Oakland School District - a easy way to look up how board members vote on issues. I'm interested in learning more about this org - it looks like a REAL parent/community association doing great things in service to their district.
Congrats to West Seattle Elementary's state-qualifying chess tournament. They had over 100 participants.
From King County:
Students from Seattle Public Schools‘ Salmon Bay School did an amazing job planting trees Dec. 6 at Big Finn Hill Park, part of King County Parks – Your Big Backyard. Hear why these students think trees are important — and learn more about why we’re planting 1 Million Trees by 2020, plus how you can get involved.The Queen Anne area schools used to have an association several years back but it disbanded. Now I see an association for West Seattle schools. This follows on the heels of another group (this from KNKX):
A group of parents called the PTSA Equity Project Seattle has suggested creating what they call an equity fund that all PTAs pay into to redistribute a portion of money to high-need schools. It would be modeled after something similar in Portland that’s existed for more than 20 years.There was more to this KNKX story about PTA fund-raising and Title One funds but I'll have a separate thread on that.
What's on your mind?
