Friday Open Thread

May 17th is the cut-off day for candidates to register for public office in Washington State and that includes for Seattle School Board.  This is what is known so far:

- In District III, Director Jill Geary will not be running again (she is rumored to be leaving Seattle).  There is one person registered with the PDC for her position, Rebeca Muniz.  I am hearing that current Seattle Council PTSA president, Chandra Haimson, may be running for that position as well.

- In District I, Director Scott Pinkham's district, parent and engineer Eric Blumhagen, has filed.  No word on if Director Pinkham will be running again.  Look for many more challengers if Pinkham decides not to run.

- In District V, Director Zachary DeWolf has filed to run for City Council in District 3 against current incumbent Kashama Sawant in a field of seven challengers.  DeWolf has complained from the dais about the difficulty of having a full-time job and being a director so it's hard to see how he can add running for City Council to his day.  August to November are very busy times in SPS and directors need to be available.  If he clears the primary, I call for DeWolf to step down from his school board seat in order to have the school communities in his district properly represented.   Otherwise, it looks like he wants to hold on to one elected office while chasing another higher elected office.  Who does that serve? Well, it's not the the school communities in his district.

- In District VI,  Director Leslie Harris has not said if she is running again.  I hope so.  I think anyone trying to take her on would have a huge challenge.

- In District II, Director Rick Harris has not said if he is running again.  I hope and good luck to whoever takes him on; he's that good.

I also see that former Board member, Stephan Blanford, is out thumping the drum that yes, the Board did a great job picking Superintendent Denise Juneau, but now, really aren't support her.  Huh?

Interesting story from KING-5  about Mulikeo SD's Mariner HS about their ban on cell phones in their school.

While other schools in the district are allowed to set their own policies, the strict regulations at Mariner High School have been in place for about 10 years, and they apply to teachers, too.

"Teachers in other schools can't believe we've had such success," Storrs said. "Once it becomes part of the culture of the school, that's just how we roll."

Louisa Boren STEM K-8 has a unique fundraiser.

Purchase a LB STEM K-8 is a Safe Place hoodie or t to show your GGLOW OWL Pride and support our LGBTQ+ students, staff and families. All proceeds will go to the PTA purchase more LGBTQ+ books for our library.

Interesting chart from SESEC from a recent survey they did with 600 survey results on how families prefer to get news.



I am disappointed to say that there are no director community meetings tomorrow, Saturday, May 11th.

What's on your mind?
