West Seattle school tours update: Superintendent at Lafayette

Earlier this morning, we mentioned it’s a busy day/night for school tours and open houses around West Seattle (see the list here). Within the past hour, the tours at Lafayette Elementary were joined by a high-profile guest – Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Maria Goodloe-Johnson (whom we photographed above with Lafayette principal Virginia Turner in the planter-box area outside). Dr. Goodloe-Johnson also visited nearby Madison Middle School before the Lafayette stop, and was headed back to district HQ in Sodo next. (Just three days ago, she was at West Seattle High School for the health-center celebration we covered here.)

    Great that the sup is in West Seattle. Maybe she’ll be motivated to do something about West Seattle’s abysmal WASL scores for science and math.

    A little step in that direction for the Gatewood Elementary kids we featured last week – their robotics club toured a robotics lab at UW today; we’ll be posting about that later.

Sorry, comment time is over.
