The West Seattle connection is a little too micro for the home page so thought I’d mention it here – Seattle Public Schools has just issued a news release with principal appointments (no word of Schmitz Park). None of the schools are in WS but one of the new appointees has WS ties, according to the background in the news release:
>>Heather Swanson has been selected as the principal for Catharine Blaine K-8 School. Ms. Swanson served as principal intern/assistant principal at Blaine for 18 months prior to her appointment as interim principal in fall 2007. She also has leadership experience as a principal intern at Sanislo Elementary and Eckstein Middle School. Ms. Swanson began her career teaching Language Arts, Social Studies and Reading at Denny Middle School.<<
