Tuesday Open Thread

From the Tilth Alliance:

Are you a teacher, parent, community member who works in school gardens?

Join us for the Seattle School Learning Garden Network Winter Workshop! It’s Sat., March 3, 8:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. at Washington Middle School. Choose from six learning sessions, connect with local organizations, network, and take optional, local garden tours after the workshops are done.

The workshop is free thanks to: Seattle School District, Tilth Alliance, Slow Food Seattle, Washington Green Schools, and others. RSVP to Sean McManus: smmcmanus@seattleschools.org.

The Network for Public Education is interested in your thoughts:

Recent surveys on gun violence in schools often report their finding by political party affiliation and whether or not you own a gun. They do not report out results for the most important groups of all--those who suffer the consequences of gun violence in schools.

If you are a pre-K -12 parent, a teacher, or a student between the ages of 14-25 we want to hear what YOU think.
 
Please take this very short survey here: 

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NPEgunviolence
 
Then please share the survey link on social media and with friends and family. We will report our results out to the press and on our webpage on the topic of gun violence in schools.

From KUOW on teens and depression:  
Pediatricians Call For Universal Depression Screening For Teens

Only about 50 percent of adolescents with depression get diagnosed before reaching adulthood. And as many as 2 in 3 depressed teens don't get the care that could help them.  

"What we're endorsing is that everyone, 12 and up, be screened ... at least once a year," Zuckerbrot says. The screening, she says, could be done during a well-visit, a sports' physical or during another office visit.

The SAT in SPS is coming up next Wednesday, March 7th.

Every March, Seattle Public Schools administers the SAT, the college admission test, to juniors during school hours. The test date for this school year is Wed., March 7, 2018.

The SAT is offered to all juniors free of charge, no pre-registration required. 

Questions about specific administration details should be directed to the testing coordinator at the student’s school. Visit our school directory for school contact information.

The local League of Women Voters sent a letter to the City Council voicing their belief that the Council should not be changing zoning code to support charter schools based in Seattle.   The letter was cc'd to the Mayor as well.

I find their reasoning sound.

From the letter:

The Seattle School District is governed by an elected school board and coordinates its
enrollment forecasts and projections to identify capacity and program needs and suitable school sites within Seattle. It works through a public process to identify locations and school costs.

Charter schools are not governed or overseen by the Seattle School Board, nor do their
operators or owners have any responsibility to coordinate with community needs and vision.

Recently the Seattle School Board adopted Resolution No. 2017/18-9, opposing changes to the City of Seattle Municipal Code SMC 23.79 that would allow charter schools to apply for departures from building development standards. The League of Women Voters finds it reasonable that Seattle city government — managed by those who are accountable to the electorate — maintain its special consideration for requests of the similarly situated Seattle School District. Both are elected by Seattle voters to oversee and ensure the appropriate use of our precious public resources and to act in the public interest. The same special consideration should not be extended to charter school owners and operators who have no such mandate.

 What's on your mind?
