Examining DeWolf's Commitment to Elected Office

Update: from Capitol Hill Seattle blog:

The Seattle Education Association, the city’s public school teachers union, have endorsed Nguyen and Sawant for the August primary.
end of update 

As we were discussing the principal issues at Washington Middle School and Bailey Gatzert Elementary, I was reminded of some statements that Director Zachary DeWolf has made about constituents AND goals while in office.

He said this in an interview at the Capitol Hill Blog in March of this year:

What about D5? In the very near future, I hope to be working on an internal Homeless Student Education Plan for Seattle Public Schools. Student homelessness is felt very deeply here in District 5. And then we’re working on some creative solutions to try to increase enrollment at Washington Middle School, which lost some of their students due to boundary changes and the opening of Meany Middle School. 

And what has come of those "creative solutions?" Nothing.  Internal Homeless Student Education Plan? If it's out there, it hasn't been discussed widely.

During your campaign, you promised to push for mandating racial and implicit bias trainings for teachers and students as well as “know your rights” trainings for undocumented students and their families. How have you progressed on that? The racial and implicate bias trainings are part of the collective bargaining agreement.

 Oh, so the teachers have to take racial and implicit bias training but not the people who work at JSCEE?  It's true; it's not mandated for the people who hand down decisions to the people working in the schools.  If equity and racial understanding is the key to change, why wouldn't it start at JSCEE?

During your 2017 campaign people wondered why you were not running for city council (or state legislature). Are you planning on joining this City Council race? Here’s the thing: our schools and our students need a really strong, energetic young advocate like myself. I don’t want people to lose focus on our schools. I’m happy being over here, waving my hands in the air just trying to get my neighbors to pay attention to and care about our public schools. For now, I want to finish the job that I think is the most critical: bringing ethnic studies to our schools. If our district can do that, then we can celebrate and talk about those things.

And today? I guess it's "the City Council needs a really strong, energetic young advocate like myself."  And ageism much? How many times on one sentence can you signal that?

He wants to finish the job of Ethnic Studies. That would be great except that many principals don't seem to be answering the call.  He knows that from being on the Executive Committee.

Joel Connelly at the PI wrote this in April of this year:

Asked in an interview what kind of representation Sawant is providing, DeWolf replied that voters in District 3 neighborhoods "will tell you what they think" about the job their councilmember is doing.

I'm sure parents in his school board district "will tell you what they think" about the job he is doing as a school board director.

DeWolf is likely to face questions about seeing things through.

He has been on the Seattle School Board less than two years, having won with 64.5% of the vote in 2017. He was asked last month by Capitol Hill Seattle Blog if he intended to run for city council.

He sounded a different tune in a Tuesday interview. "I'm still going to serve the wonderful teachers and students, and I just want to do it in a different way," DeWolf said.

More and more, it appears that being on the school board was a placeholder until the next big, shiny ring for Director DeWolf.
