Solving the Capacity mess in Northern West Seattle

From the West Seattle Blog:

Reopening a closed West Seattle public school is virtually inevitable, Seattle School Board president Steve Sundquist confirmed during this morning’s community-conversation meeting at Delridge Library, as the district deals with overcrowding issues in the second year after the last round of closures. And though no decision’s been made yet, Fairmount Park Elementary at 38th/Findlay – shuttered for four years – seems likely to be that school, he acknowledged – with one caveat. Read on for details of the discussion, which also tackled issues including sibling waitlists:

Amazingly Steve Sundquist was a responsible party for the closing of the Cooper School in the last round of closures. , which created the capacity mess in Northern West Seattle.

The Cooper Building was given to Pathfinder and Northern West Seattle has had a shortage of elementary school student capacity ever since.

So what are your questions or comments about the Seattle School Director election in West Seattle?

This is apparently the only Blog at this time that is focused on Mr. Sundquist as he has failed to have a blog.

Steve Supported the new D 43.00 policy which fails to mention interventions

The Board voted 7-0 for a new promotion/ non-promotion policy, which has NO MENTION OF INTERVENTIONS FOR STRUGGLING STUDENTS.

Steve has supported the Reform math program at every opportunity.

In WA State we have according to the MSP ... at the end of 8th grade 51.6% of kids passing the Math MSP and 26.7% of kids unable to score above level 1.

In the Seattle we have according to the MSP ... at the end of 8th grade 60.4% of kids passing the Math MSP and 22.6% of kids unable to score above level 1.

For Seattle's Black students those numbers are at the end of 8th grade are:
30.5% of kids passing the Math MSP and 45.4% of kids unable to score above level 1.

THE SPS has a plan in place to leave the level 1's at level 1 forever.

For Seattle's Black students those numbers are at the end of 10th grade are:
12.5% of kids passing the Math HSPE and 68.8% of kids unable to score above level 1.

What does Steve think his role as a director is?

Steve Supported TfA

The Board decided to allow TfA into the District. There is no teacher shortage. Steve again is supportive of what he sees as CORPORATE PHILANTHROPY.
