Tuesday Open Thread

From Lowell Elementary PTA:

Though we know you receive a lot of outraged emails about staffing cuts, Lowell is a Title I school with one of the highest populations of homeless students in the city. As of this writing, one-hundred-and-seventy-eight (178) students have come or gone from our community after the start of school. Last year our official student mobility rate was 48%, and it may be higher this year.  

As a result of Mary’s Place returning to downtown Seattle in the 2019/20 school year, we know that we can expect between 30-50 additional students experiencing homelessness  to enroll mid-year. Because Mary’s place will be returning to our boundaries mid-year, these students are not reflected in our projected enrollment numbers.

There is a Facebook page, AC/DC against the proposed cuts to schools.  
There will be a rally at Franklin High for librarians this Friday, March 29th, at intersection of MLK and Rainier (the corner of the athletic field) around 4. 

From Washington's Paramount Duty:

First, the good news. The House budget includes a capital gains tax for the first time, and some of its proceeds would fund public schools. It includes a progressive real estate excise tax, and it closes some corporate tax loopholes. They also include some flexibility for local levies, and some new funds for special education. This is something we should all applaud.

Here's the bad news: none of this is anywhere close to enough for our schools.

On special education, the House budget proposes to add $70 million over the next two years. That's $35 million a year for the entire state. This is wholly inadequate. Recently, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction estimated school districts spent over $235 million beyond what the state funded last year to provide legally and morally required special education. (In Seattle alone, the school district estimates their annual unfunded need for special education is $70 million per year.)

Speaking of Special Education, one mom's journey (from Seattle's Child).
 
Betsy is at it again, this time testifying about Trump's budget:

House Democrats on Tuesday blasted the latest budget proposed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that would cut nearly $7 billion or 10 percent of spending from the department. 

They focused in part on zeroing out the Special Olympics program and special education grants to states, but also pressed DeVos on her proposed rule changes on campus sexual misconduct and her decision to rescind discipline guidance to schools meant to protect students of color.

There's a teacher in the Seattle area who has a GoFundMe page for a bulletproof vest.  Or so says the Stranger.    

I would find it hard to donate money to a complete stranger who won't give his entire name.

On that note, bump stocks are now illegal across the entire country. 

What's on your mind?
