Friday Open Thread

A lot of news.

Good News in two related stories: free Jazz camp this summer.  See info here.

No experience required. Open to students going into grades 4-8.

Sliding scale tuition with instant free tuition option. Just enter code WAIVER on the registration check-out page.

From KIRO-tv, a story about new band instruments coming to SPS:

Music programs at Seattle Public Schools received a substantial boost Wednesday in the form of $100,000 worth of new instruments. Yamaha Corporation of America donated percussion and wind instruments that will benefit more than 1,300 students at nine schools across the district.

The schools are: 

• Nathan Hale High School 
• Cleveland High School 
• Franklin High School 
• Ingraham High School 
• Rainier Beach High School 
• Madison Middle School 
• Washington Middle School 
• Whitman Middle School and
• Mercer International Middle School.

Story and editorial from the Seattle Times asking the Legislature how come they can't seem to get the Special Education funding part of the McCleary decision done.  Shameful that this legislative session may end without this getting done.

The Legislature’s continued and, in fact, studied indolence about fully addressing special education is not only a violation of these students’ civil rights but a moral outrage. That the Legislature left special education out of the sweeping education-finance reforms mandated by the McCleary ruling all but condones a conscious and longstanding decision to leave behind our students who are most struggling.

(Editor's note: the Times is asking readers for money for different types of reporting including their Education Lab which is funding through "community partner" the Gates Foundation.  The Gates Foundation is many things but I would not ever call it a "community partner." )

Director DeWolf, in his run for the City Council, says this in the Madison Park Times:

DeWolf was elected to the Seattle School Board in 2017, where he pushed meetings into the public, worked on improving internal systems for transgender students, introduced community workforce agreements and supported the hiring of Denise Juneau as the district’s new superintendent.

“It has been the joy of my life to serve on the school board,” DeWolf said.

I'm not sure that's a real list of accomplishments especially since he tends to be the least visible Board member at meetings.

Both Puyallup and and South Whidbey superintendents are getting calls to resign over the funding issues in their districts.  Washington State needs a capital gains tax.

Next Saturday, April 27th, is Independent Bookstore Day.  Locally, there's a contest to visit every independent bookstore in our region (there's 26).  Please support your local bookseller; my favorites are Ada's Technical Bookshop and Third Place Books as well as The Secret Garden bookstore.

What's on your mind?
