Seattle Public Schools Closure Options

by

Posted: September 14, 2024

Seattle Public Schools announced two potential plans to close some schools (Option A and Option B). Here is a link to their website about this. It includes information about the proposals, the budget challenges the School District is facing, and opportunities for public input.

Adequate state funding for public education remains a challenge for our state. At the City level, we have been able to provide supplemental funding through the Families and Education levy, which is up for renewal next year. As a member of the Libraries, Education and Neighborhoods Committee I will work hard to bring forward a renewal proposal in 2025.

Parks and Public Spaces across the Puget Sound, WA Area Participate in a Campaign to
Engage Kids in Free Indoor and Outdoor Learning Experiences on their Phones.

Participating parks in Seattle include Camp Long, Discovery Park, and Carkeek Park.

In response to the huge demand for free fun active outdoor experiences, partners including: Seattle Parks and Recreation, Metro Parks Tacoma, WSU, Pierce County Parks, City of Lakewood, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, City of Yelm, Mt Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, Kitsap County Public Works, City of Sequim, and many others have come together to get people exploring, learning, and having fun with their families. The campaign uses Agents of Discovery®, an educational technology platform that enables educators to create their own augmented reality games – think Pokemon Go for parks and education.

The Puget Sound Explorer 6.0 Campaign will run August 1st, 2024 – September 30th 2024. Anyone can join in by downloading the free Agents of Discovery mobile app and completing “Missions”, or games at participating locations. Each Mission is made up of educational “Challenges” that teach players about local history, culture, ecosystems, and even safety. For example, in Tacoma, players can learn about the Mysteries of McKinley Park. At another location, the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, players can learn all about aviation.
