Charter school hearings: Calling all edushysters
The Washington State Charter School Commission is holding hearings in Seattle today, January 13th.
The commission is to review applicants and decide on charter schools that will be established in our state unless the lawsuit that appears to be proceeding through the courts is successful.
The hearing will begin at 5:00 PM at South Seattle Community College, 6737 Corson Ave. S., Building C, Room C122.
Come early to sign up if you want to testify, all are invited to share their opinions and concerns.
Members of the Seattle Education Association will be there in force and I hope some of my readers will be able to participate also. I’ll be there, notepad in hand.
