Wednesday Open Thread

Back from a great vacation break and lots to catch up on.

First, let's look at the district schedule for this week.  There's one big item that jumps right out happening today:

Board Special Meeting: Executive Session: To consider the selection of a site or the acquisition of real estate by lease or purchase when public knowledge regarding such consideration would cause a likelihood of increased price and; to consider the minimum price at which real estate will be offered for sale or lease when public knowledge regarding such consideration would cause a likelihood of decreased price.

This does not sound like a small purchase so I'm intrigued as to what land this might be and for what purpose.

Next, I note that the primary election yesterday looks to trend Democratic so that party may have a strong degree of control in the state legislature.  I am especially pleased to see the defeat of former legislator Rodney Tom who was a DINO and ed reform supporter as well as former legislator, Chad Magendanz.

From the Times, news of a legislative work group that want input on special education funding/spending.  Unfortunately, the deadline has passed for giving input but you can still read about their work.

In Washington state, school districts don’t always have enough money to provide the mandated supports to students with disabilities.

But some students have needs so severe that districts struggle to afford what it takes to provide them with a free and appropriate education, a right guaranteed by federal law. Seattle Public Schools, for example, enrolled a handful of students last year who required services that cost between $300,000 and $500,000 each.

Now, a legislative work group is asking the public to weigh in on a draft list of recommendations that could make it easier for school districts to collect additional state and federal funds to help cover some of those costs 

 Interesting opinion piece on math and girls from the NY Times.

Hey, Arne Duncan has a new book out but we'll be discussing that in a separate thread.

What's on your mind?
