Seattle School Meetings, Week of May 6-12, 2019
There are four Work Sessions this week; two on Tuesday, May 7th and two on Wednesday, May 8th.Tuesday, May 7th
Work Session: Budget; State Auditors Exit Conference from 4:30-7:00 pm. No agenda available.
Wednesday, May 8th
Work Session: Capital Program Semi-Annual Report - 4:30-5:00 pm
Work Session: Capacity and Enrollment Evaluation - 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
For some reason the agenda - plus documentation - is available for these work sessions.
Capital Program Report Highlights:
- Despite the addition of nearly 2100 seats via the reopening of Lincoln and addition at Ingraham, they are not recommending removal of any portables at Roosevelt or Ballard. In fact, they have to get permission from the City to continue to have as many portables at Roosevelt as they currently have.
- The schematic for Bagley Elementary looks great and what a difference it will make for that area.
- They are still working on revamping Webster as a K-5 or K-8 for up to 375 students in Fall 2020. My guess is that they are going to push Licton Springs K-8 out of its current space co-shared with RESMS. The stories I have been told - by both sides - does scream out for something to change. It seems odd that both principals cannot get control of the situation for the time being.
- There's also an interesting examination of energy efficiency at BEX IV buildings, see page 36.

Assignment Transition Plan
- Enrollment is projecting 700 fewer students next school year, mostly from high school and grades 1-5.
- There are about 2700 students on waitlists which is about the same as last year.
- New portables - North Beach (4), Robert Eagle Staff (3), Jane Addams (2)
- 13 more Sped classes due to enrollment growth -
North Beach, Olympic View, T. Marshall, Boren, Eckstein (2), Washington(2), Ballard, Chief Sealth, Rainier Beach, Roosevelt, Bridges
- Noted that Maple is overenrolled and the largest Title One elementary in SPS. Conflicting dates in the report for when the new Wing Luke Elementary might open and relieve the pressure at Maple. Green Lake Elementary is also overenrolled with no room for portables. I find that curious given their large playground area. North Beach Elementary is also overenrolled and now has 12(!) portables.
- JAMS is overenrolled with now 6 portables. RESMS/Licton Springs K-8 full to the brim. They will have 7 portables by Fall 2019. Suggestions are moving LS K-8, additional site for HCC (and maybe then freeing up space for LS K-8?) or boundary change.
- Mercer MS is already overenrolled even with BEX V design. Boundary change?
- Hale, Roosevelt and Ballard will remain overenrolled even with the reopening of Lincoln. (So the district is losing high school students per the projections for next year but these schools will remain full? Hmm.)
- They state there will be community meetings on some boundaries in late May/early June and in the fall with plan to Board by November 2019. Any boundary changes would come for Fall 2020.
- Pages 70-77 have new enrollment stats and maps.
