Take on School District Governance! Host or Participate in a Community Meet-Up

Host a Spring Meet-up and Take on School District Governance in May 2007

Discussions around Seattle school district governance will take center stage during Spring Meet-Ups sponsored by Washington Appleseed and CPPS in May. 

 

Using living rooms and lunch rooms, we will bring voters together to discuss current and future issues on school district leadership and governance. 

 

Want to Host?  We need volunteers to bring the discussion to your corner of the city from May 9th to 12th.   

 

You will have everything you need for lively discussion around these important issues.  We provide the training, discussion guide, feedback form and more.  You supply the venue and invite 10 to 15 of your friends and colleagues over to talk.

 

Spring Meet-Ups will be provided with background on school district governance, the roles of superintendent and school boards, what cities across the nation do for school governance, and where we are in Seattle.  Then the discussion begins.  What do we want for Seattle?  What is the best fit for us?   

 

Contact Barbara Schaad-Lamphere, Senior Fellow at Washington Appleseed, at BSchaadL@comcast.net  to host or to get more information.  Or call Barbara at 206-938-0608.
