Friday Open Thread

I will be writing separate threads about stories in the Seattle Times recently.  One on Board candidates in the Northeast and one about Oakland Unified School District’s success with their initiative around Black male students.

A ruling from the Washington State Supreme Court may cause some anxiety for teachers, administrators and other district staff.  The Court ruled that public disclosure into on state employees can include their birthdate.  From the AP:

A divided Washington state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that birthdates of state employees are public records that are subject to disclosure.

In a 5-4 ruling , the court said there was no statutory or constitutional allowance that would preclude the release of such information.

The case stems from a 2016 request from the Freedom Foundation, a conservative group that had been seeking disclosure of records of union-represented employees, so it could contact them as part of its effort to reduce the size and influence of public-sector unions. Several unions sought to stop the release of the records.

Trump, in a speech in Pennsylvania, told the crowd that he was building a “beautiful” wall...in Colorado.  To which the governor of Colorado tweeted:

Well this is awkward,” Gov. Jared Polis tweeted on Wednesday. “Colorado doesn’t border Mexico. Good thing Colorado now offers free full day kindergarten so our kids can learn basic geography.”

Maybe just as Trump doesn’t believe in climate change, he doesn’t believe in geography.

Teachers and students? Want to learn how use Google and get better searches?  Here’s a YouTube video from Google.  There’s also a new book - The Joy of Search: A Google Insider's Guide to Going Beyond the Basics by Dan Russell - that has even more help. (Editor’s note: Dan is a good friend of mine but the book really is good.

So the district has this “news” story - Building Integrated Support Systems at South Shore PreK-8 School - which is quite the word salad but is becoming the norm for SPS communications.  It says almost nothing in specific that is being done.  I would expect this trend to continue.

I see that Director Brandon Hersey has scheduled a community meeting for next week.  Its timing does make me smile - it’s on Halloween from 6:00-7:30 pm.  Hmm, wonder what many parents might be doing with their kids that night.  Maybe a good night for high school parents to speak with him?

What’s on your mind?
