Odds and Ends
Olympic Hills Capacity Mtg on Monday night
Packed house, I was almost surprised they had it such a small school but it was cozy.
Attendees - SPS staff, Directors Peaslee and Carr (but oddly, not Martin-Morris as one of the central issues was Eckstein that sits in his district) and FACMAC co-chairs and other members of the Committee. Rep. Gerry Pollet also was in attendance. The room was packed full.
I liked the way this meeting went. There was just a brief presentation, then principal Zoe Jenkins did a roll call of sorts of what schools were there. She listed them on a blackboard, plus a spot for community input. She then handed out a card for each school to anyone who wanted to speak. In that way, we had input from all schools plus a rotation of speakers. There were about 12 schools represented.
What I did hear firmly:
- Pinehurst is to stay in place. No mention of exactly what that would then mean for Jane Addams.
