Seattle Schools Week of May 7-12, 2018

To note, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week and it's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.

Monday, May 7th
The Board is having an Executive Session today about "real estate." 

to consider the selection of a site or the acquisition of real estate by lease or purchase; to consider the minimum price at which real estate will be offered for sale or lease

Wednesday, May 9th
Board meeting starting at 4:15 pm.  Agenda

I'm a bit disturbed at the number of items on the agenda that do not have attached documentation.  It's usually just a couple but most of the items don't have documentation.

Highlights
- approval of Guiding Principles for BEX V.  They are not yet available but the BAR says that equity will be the top priority.  It also mentions a scoring matrix which I like because it will be useful to see how capacity needs are balanced against facility conditions.

- Expansion of Native American Educational Programming. An informative and yet troubling BAR. The district is putting forth $250,000 more in funding for Native American student services.  The BAR states that it serves roughly 1700 students who identify as Native American.  The district has trained most middle and 4th grade teachers on the Since Time Immemorial” curriculum but have no funding to implement its teaching.

• Intensive student support. Tier 3 supports at two locations:
o Denny-Sealth serves 60 (Gr: 6-12) students in Southwest Seattle. Cost
$2900/student.
o Licton Springs serves 160 (K-8) students in North Seattle; 30 of the students are
Native American. Cost: $16,000++/student.

That's a large per student cost at Licton Springs but it's unclear to me if they mean the 30 students or the entire school. 

Compared to other districts with significant Native American populations, Seattle serves a more diverse and dispersed Native American enrollment, invests more base line funds, and receives far less
tribal support. We receive $121,000 in funding for "enrolled" Native American students from Title VI. Our legally mandated Parent Advisory Committee governs those funds. Using local levy resources, Seattle Schools supplements Title VI funding with: about $250,000 in baseline funds; an additional $250,000 of Title I funds;an additional application of $30,000 of ELL funds;$10,000 from Muckleshoot Tribe; and $48,000 from the City of Seattle Human Services Department.

We held five community engagement meetings for Native American parents during Spring/
Fall 2017. Parents raised concerns about identity threat, bias and bullying, transportation,
opportunity gaps, unwelcoming schools, desire to add Šǝqačib Programing to the north end, lack of
supplemental services, absence of support for preservation of culture, Indian Heritage HS,
accessible services district-wide, improvement in the teaching of Native instructional materials
such as Since Time Immemorial, and the lack of Native American students participating
in advanced learning. A review of our student survey data shows that Native American students
report stereotype threat issues at rates like African American and other historically underserved
students.
Immediately following the Board meeting is an Executive Session about potential litigation.
