Seattle Schools, Week of November 26th-December 2, 2018
Tuesday, November 327thWork Session on Families, Education, Preschool and Promise levy from 4:30-6:00 pm.
Work Session on Secondary Revisioning from 6:00-7:30 pm. Both at JSCEE.
Agenda/presentation.
I note that the City certainly takes a lot of credit for improvements in outcomes regarding closing the racial gap. It's unclear how they can be sure that the work that is done from the levy is the sole reason that some of those gaps are closing.
They say there are 25 health centers in schools but don't give a list. I know of about 15 of them but I'll have to ask about the others.
Interestingly, the City has the chart below (which I presume came from the district) but I have never seen this information in quite this form.
There will be two public meetings - one in Jan, one in Feb - for the public to give input on the City's plan.
Here's interesting reading that was in the levy language but that got overlooked by many (and is probably the key to charter schools receiving funds)
“Proceeds may only be leveraged to support Seattle School District and Seattle Colleges programs or functions with the existence of a current, effective Partnership Agreement.” (bold theirs)
I would think this puts the pressure on the district to agree to what the City wants to do (and leaves open the door for charter schools to ask for dollars). I'll be interested to read what the agreement looks like.
As to the Secondary Revisioning Work Session, this may be a helpful slide for parents of teens:
It looks like CTE is to get a major push from the district (see slide 5).
Slide 7 has important information about going forward on planning. Like:
We are not able to move forward with the modified 7 period schedule for 2019-20.
Slide 11 is striking; it shows the percentages of 9th grade students by race earning 6+ credits (out of 4,000 9th graders,600 did not earn 6 credits). What I find interesting are the numbers between "Black- East African" and "Black (English)". As well, while American blacks, Pacific Islander and Hispanic students did not do well, Native American students did quite well.
On Slide 18, there is a case study of how Chicago does "on-track interventions." The district doesn't need to look across the country for this; Everett has been doing this - to great success - for a long time. And, I'm sure their superintendent would be happy to speak with Superintendent Juneau to explain how. I know this because I've talked to the Everett superintendent, Gary Cohn.
Wednesday, November 27th
Special Education PTSA Meet & Greet at Meany Middle School from 7-8:30 pm.
Work Session on Budget from 4:30-6:00 pm.
Work Session on Advanced Learning from 6:00-7:30 pm.
Both at JSCEE.
Agenda/presentation (only available for AL; Budget to be added).
Slide 3 - check it out! Kind of amazing to see these statements said out loud.
But then you get to Slide 5 where, after the AL Task Force does its work, by the summer of 2019, then the district will start to talk about implementation. Quite a lot of foot-dragging here.
I also note in Slide 8 that there is a list of what will be examined as "data" to use. It include the Superintendent's "Listening and Learning 'commentary'" feedback. I think that a bit hollow as the Superintendent had time to have a session for nearly every group and program but not Advanced Learning.
