Tuesday Open Thread
I attended the Board Work Session on the upcoming forum for District VII candidates. The Board was hashing out what questions to ask. Given there are so many candidates, they had to strive to try to get as many questions in as possible. There were five of the candidates in attendance and boy, were they a serious bunch. (Those candidates were Brandon Hersey, Julie Van Arcken, Barbara Rockey, Dionne Foster and Emijah Smith.) It is unclear to me if Romanita Hairston is still in the running; she did not turn in her responses to the questionnaire on-time. I would have thought that would have eliminated her from the running but they didn't say that.Good story about housing locations and outcomes for kids (suggested by several readers) from KUOW - In Seattle, A Move Across Town Could Be A Path Out Of Poverty.
It involves providing financial and other incentives to encourage more poor families to relocate to what are called "high opportunity" areas. These are neighborhoods that have been identified by economist Raj Chetty, who runs Harvard University's Opportunity Insights program, as places where low-income children have grown up to have more successful lives, with higher earnings, more college degrees and fewer teen births.
The initial results indicate that the program is working. Families receiving the extra help were almost four times as likely to move to a high-opportunity area as those who did not — 54% compared with 14%.
