Tuesday Open Thread

The district finallly put up a public notice about the rash of overdose deaths from pills laced with. fentanyl by several teens in the Puget Sound region including one at Ballard High School.   Several surprises (at least to me). I am surprised at the amount of time it took.  I am surprised that it didn’t get “above the fold” location on the district website for at least a couple of days.  I am surprised at the seeming lack of urgency in that notice.  School board directors? Might want to tell the Superintendent that her pet projects don’t supercede student safety.

From OSPI on parents’ rights to view the results of their child’s state test scores.

Parents and guardians of students who were enrolled full-time or part-time in Washington public schools during state testing may view their student’s Washington Comprehensive Assessment Program (WCAP) tests. These tests include:

• Smarter Balanced (SBA) assessments
• End-of-Course (EOC) exams
• Off-Grade Level (OGL) assessments
• Washington Access to Instruction and Measurement (WA-AIM)
• Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS)

Interesting article from the  NY Times on possible medical reasons your child might struggle academically.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has just issued a report on what pediatricians can — and should — do to help “school-aged children who are not progressing academically.”

One in six kids in the U.S. are struggling in school to the point where they’re really suffering, really feel like they’re failing — and a lot of them are failing,” he said.

We’re talking about a child who is clearly struggling just to stay afloat. Sometimes it’s a child who was doing fine until something changed or went wrong in the school environment — a teacher mismatch, a terrible social situation with classmates. And sometimes it’s an issue with the child’s own learning profile or state of mind that comes to light as academic demands increase. 

A judge threatens Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos with jail (yes, please)  for continuing to collect debt from students at a online college even after it went out of business.  From Newsweek:

That ruling, handed down in June of 2018, was made by U.S. Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim and prevented DeVos and her Department of Education for going after former students at the bankrupt Corinthian Colleges Inc. 

However, Kim said she was "astounded" to discover that DeVos was violating the court order at a hearing in San Francisco on Monday after a filing by the Education Department earlier disclosed that more than 16,000 former students at Corinthian College "were incorrectly informed at one time or another ... that they had payments due on their federal student loans."

I do have documentation for the upcoming Curriculum and Instruction meeting this afternoon which I will post separately.

I see that the Seattle Times has done a very gentle story on the Math portion of SPS Ethnic Studies.  Pretty puffball writing but again, I’ll put that discussion in a separation post. I note that one reader said that page had been at OSPI but is now gone.  I’ll ask some questions and see what I can find out.

What’s on your mind?
