District VII Candidate Responses (and What a Mess the Board Has Created)
SPS has put forth the answers to the Board questionnaire to the candidates who have thrown their hat into the ring to replace retiring director Betty Patu.I have not gone thru these yet but wanted to get them up in advance of tonight's forum via the Southeast Education Coalition as well as the Board's pending forum on August 7th.
I have heard news that a candidate did not get their questionnaires in on time because he/she was out of the country and didn't have computer access but is now allowed to submit them late. Booo to that.
One, deadlines are deadlines. Sorry to whoever that is that is out of the country. Truly bad form on the part of the Board.
Two, that means the other candidates questionnaires were up and available for that candidate to read as he/she finished his/her own questionnaire.
Plus, it now makes all the other candidates have to rethink what they have probably spend hours and hours of time on.
Here's how this went down (partial from emails):
Wednesday, July 24th
Please find an important clarification below from Board President Harris regarding the candidate questionnaire. As a reminder, the questionnaire is due by email to the School Board Office, boardoffice@seattleschools.org
What Harris wanted candidates to know:
One of you has requested specific advice on the outstanding questionnaire as to how to address the "choose 3 remaining questions" from the community questions portion, when many of the community questions are compound.
We left those exact details open and thoughtful discussion was had at the work session as to some of these details, but we left it for you to choose how you wish to answer so we, as the Board and decision makers, and the community can see how you respond and determine what’s most important to you to convey to the Board members and communities. No word lengths, etc. We are trying in our efforts to be fair to create an even opportunity field by asking and vetting questions and doing this process as transparently as we can.
We’ll be meeting on August 5th @ 4:30 p.m. to discuss the questions to pose for the August 7th forum.
Tuesday, July 30th
Your questionnaire responses have now been posted to your individual candidate pages. You can access those pages here: https://www.seattleschools.
Tuesday, July 30th (later that day)
All candidates for the District VII Director appointment are being given additional time to amend or supplement their previously submitted questionnaires. The deadline to provide any additions or to edit your questionnaire is tomorrow—Wednesday, July 31 at 9 a.m. If you are resubmitting, please provide your new questionnaire as a word document with tracked changes if you are able. Please note that submissions that have been received to date have already posted, and we will make any adjustments as we are able.
One candidate was traveling during the questionnaire deadline period, and was unable to provide their questionnaire responses previously. Board President Harris has decided to provide all candidates the additional time to allow for complete submissions.
Wednesday, July 31st
Thank you for your patience as we have worked to ensure this appointment process is as fair and transparent as possible. One candidate remains out of the country without timely access to a computer, so the deadline to provide any additions or to edit your questionnaire has been further extended by the Board President to5 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, August 1. This is the final deadline extension.
If you are resubmitting, please provide your new questionnaire as a word document with tracked changes if you are able. Please note that submissions that were received by Monday morning have already posted, and we will make any adjustments as we are able.
