What a finale to the Scripps Spelling Bee - for the first time in history, they have multiple co-champions (8!). After they had gone 20 rounds, Scripps decided that they would do one more round and whoever was standing would be champion or co-champions.Scholarships for high school grads to go into the trades from Washington State Opportunity Scholarships.
The Career and Technical Scholarship (CTS) supports Washington students on their path to high-demand trade, health care and STEM occupations. To be eligible, scholars must enroll in an approved program, such as welding, nursing or IT, at one of Washington’s 34 community and technical colleges. Scholars are eligible to receive up to $1,500 each quarter for the duration of their program, as well as support services.The Washington State Charter Commission announced four new charter schools have been approved.
Today, the Washington State Charter School Commission voted to approve four new charter public schools: Cascade Public Schools in South King County, Catalyst Public Schools in Bremerton, Impact Public Schools | Salish Sea in Seattle, and Whatcom Intergenerational High School (WIHS) in Bellingham.
All four newly approved schools are set to launch in Fall 2020.Salish Sea will be in the New Holly area which seems to be very popular with charter schools as Green Dot is also a big presence there. Seattle Public schools in that area include Wing Luke, Dearborn Park and Van Asselt. Also to note, Cascade Midway will be a new high school in south King County. It's the one being started by two vice-principals at West Seattle High School (who used district email to do some of their planning.) There may also end up being some confusion for this school as there are several schools in WA state that have Cascade in them as well as an entire school district.
Big Brother may be coming for your child and the first place to see this is in Florida, which seems to be ground zero for dopey public education initiatives. From Ed Week:
Florida offers a glimpse of where it all may head: Lawmakers there are pushing for a state database that would combine individuals' educational, criminal justice, and social-service records with their social media data, then share it all with law enforcement.There are no director community meetings this weekend as the Board has another retreat on Saturday, June 1st. The entire retreat is dedicated to racial equity training. I hope people recognize and appreciate how much time and effort the Board is putting into this work.
Across the country, the results of such efforts are already far-reaching.
The new technologies have yielded just a few anecdotal reports of thwarted school violence, the details of which are often difficult to pin down. But they've also shone a huge new spotlight on the problems of suicide and self-harm among the nation's children. And they've created a vast new legal and ethical gray area, which harried school administrators are mostly left to navigate on their own.
