Two nights after speaking to and with West Seattle and South Park families at Concord International School (WSB coverage here), first-year Seattle Public Schools superintendent José Banda returned to this side of the city, for a gathering tonight at the Duwamish Longhouse. He was there to meet with Native American families, to “brainstorm solutions and create a collaborative plan of action … to support and improve the performance of Native American students,” according to his letter of invitation to Native community members, who have implored the district to do more to help students succeed.
