Tuesday Open Thread
SPS reports that Open Enrollment results are now available.It's National Volunteer Week so thank you to the many parents and community members who give time to our students in Seattle Schools.
The City's Department of Education and Early Learning will be having two meetings to talk about their findings from recent community meetings on the Families and Education levy.
The Seattle Department of Education and Early Learning (DEEL) would like to invite you to attend a community meeting to hear an update on the feedback received for the upcoming renewal of the Families and Education Levy and Seattle Preschool Program Levy. Over the last several months DEEL facilitated a total of 33 meetings with over 465 total attendees, representing over 105 different organizations to get feedback to inform and prioritize funding investments for the Levy.The Levy Oversight Committee for the F&E levy is having a meeting today and I'll be attending. They finally got up some minutes (albeit from several months ago) from their meetings and it reveals a bit about why Mayor Durkan probably thought it was worthwhile to get money from the F&E levy for her Promise Program - they had a $3M underspend last year. Also, the discussion around the amount this time sounds like close to $700M which they call "mid-range" and is a lot higher than every before.
Below are two opportunities to hear more about the community input we received. Childcare and interpretation available upon request by EOD Tuesday, 4/17.
Saturday, April 21st 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM

A story here in the Seattle Times about the F&E levy and concern over its direction from some quarters (including this blog).
A very sad article in the NY Times about the state of public education in schools in America as told by teachers.
Great story from KQED on art and its effects on student learning.
Finally, I love, love, love this idea of how to calm kids down and get their upsets out. This should be in every elementary school.
What's on your mind?
