Seattle Schools Community Forum: Pinehurst Parents' Response to BEX IV Levy

Seattle Schools Community Forum: Pinehurst Parents' Response to BEX IV Levy:


Pinehurst Parents' Response to BEX IV Levy

From the Save Pinehurst group:

We hastily formed a new Pinehurst K-8 BEX Levy Committee in response to the following in a letter sent  to the entire School District on October 9, 2012 from Superintendent JosĂ© Banda.

The Seattle School District (BEX IV Levy Team and School Board) has yet to talk with the Pinehurst K-8 community on next steps. We are aware that they have meet with Jane Addams K-8 and other schools over the last few months, including this week. We request the same courtesy and consideration to meet with them ASAP and collaborate on a solution for preserving the 40+ year history of the Pinehurst K-8 alternative school.

We are aware that time is of the essence since the Board will be voting on the BEX IV Levy soon.
