Seattle Schools This Week
It's a fairly quiet week around SPS this week.
Tuesday, January 22nd
Call into the Board office (or e-mail) if you want to sign up for the Speakers list for the Board meeting on Wednesday. Frankly, you will not be changing anyone's mind if you choose to speak BUT if you want to make a point, out loud and in public, now's the time to go on record.
252-0040 or boardagenda@seattleschools.org
Wednesday, January 23rd
Rally to support teachers against MAP at 4:00 p.m. This one is organized by the SEA and I sure hope there is a lot of teacher, parent and student presence.
School Board meeting at 4:15 pm. Agenda
The Agenda includes:
- approval of the 2013-2014 Interim plan. To note, the cost has gone up from about $3.5M to just over $4M and this would come from BTA III. This, of course, not was part BTA III planning so I'll have to ask what projects are shelved/delayed by this action.
Staff appears to still be recommending
