Seattle Public Schools’ superintendent sets West Seattle chat

From the “School Beat” e-newsletter just distributed – Seattle Public Schools superintendent Dr. Maria Goodloe-Johnson (who was at the Denny event this morning, photo left) has scheduled “coffee hour”-style meetings around the district, and one is in West Seattle (the only evening meeting, too): 6:50-8 pm September 29th at High Point Community Center (6920 34th SW; map). Big week for HPCC – two nights later, it hosts a community meeting with Parks boss Tim Gallagher (7 pm October 1).

It’s good to see the Superintendent getting out in the community. Schools are an incredibly important part of the fabric of our community in a surprisingly wide range of ways that go way beyond the classroom. If you’re interested in community health, urban agriculture, or sustainable and equitable development, I encourage you to join the conversation!

I came out of last nights meeting the same way I went into it, not understanding anything. I got a lot of “I don’t know, I’m not sure and you should come to the feedback meetings.” I was not happy about the fact that there were no interpreter for the Somali community, even though they make up a huge amount of the population in High Point.

Sorry, comment time is over.
