I will have a separate post but Director Jill Geary, chair of the Curriculum&Instruction Committee has called a COW (Committee of the Whole) meeting to discuss the Science adoption for Tuesday, May 2nd from 4:30-7:00 pm at JSCEE. No agenda yet available. This meeting is where the Board will ask their final questions of staff. This meeting will be followed the next day by the regular Board meeting where the Science adoption will be introduced. No agenda yet available.I urge everyone who has a question/comment to send it to the Board at spsdirectors@seattleschools.org. If you wish for the Superintendent and senior management to see your comment/question, send it to schoolboard@seattleschools.org.
From Washington's Paramount Duty about the last days of this Legislative session in Olympia:
Senate and House leadership announced yesterday that they reached agreement on a budget but won’t reveal it until *Saturday.* Leadership could brief their caucuses and release budget details to the public today, but they are specifically choosing not to. The graduated real estate tax bill and tax exemption bills passed the full Senate last night. The business and occupation tax bill passed the House. Appropriations Committee. There has not been any movement on the cap gains bill or either (house or senate) levy flexibility bill.
We need to keep the pressure on our legislators, especially senators. Please take a moment to call your legislators today with your support for a capital gains tax going to public schools and a clean levy flexibility bill. Here’s the link to email your Senator if you haven’t already.Opt-Out information from a new group, Opt Out Seattle 2019.

The National Teacher of the Year was announced and it's Rodney Robinson, a 19-year school veteran, who teaches Social Studies/History at Virgie Binford Education Center.He became a teacher to honor his mother, who struggled to receive an education after being denied an education as a child due to segregation and poverty in rural Virginia. In 2015, Robinson started teaching at Virgie Binford Education Center, a school inside the Richmond Juvenile Detention Center, in an effort to
better understand the school-to-prison pipeline.
Uh oh, are you ready for the big earthquake? The Times is reporting from a study that was commissioned by SPU :
As Anchorage grapples with the aftermath of Friday’s powerful earthquake, a new study says Seattle would lose all water pressure within 24 hours of a catastrophic quake and would need at least two months to entirely restore water service in the city.I urge you to seriously considering getting something together for your family, including how/where to meet up if everyone is in different places. One lesson learned from Katrina; the federal government can't/won't be there to come help for quite awhile.
Every Seattle neighborhood would lose tap water for drinking, showering, flushing – and firefighting.
There are no director community meetings this weekend. It seems like it might have been a good weekend for directors to talk to parents and the public.
