During this public event, we seek to bring voters together to
listen to a lively panel discussion, moderated by C.R. Douglas of the Seattle Channel, about the future of the Seattle School
Board, in advance of the upcoming School Board elections in August.
The panel will address a variety of topics,
including differentiating the roles of the School Board versus the
Superintendent, qualities of a high-functioning School Board, skills needed by School Board members, effective School Board models in other areas of the
country, and how voters can best evaluate candidates vying for a seat on the
board.
We hope to build upon community conversations and voter education efforts being conducted on behalf of this topic by partnering organizations throughout Seattle.
This effort is part of a long-term campaign to engage the public in learning about and participating in School Board elections.
Our panelists include:
- Cathy Allen, President, The Connections Group
- Andrew Thibault, Principal, Evans/McDonough Company, Inc.
- Porsche
Everson, President, Relevant Strategies
- Lynne Varner, Seattle Times Editorial Columnist
- Patricia Wasley, Dean, University of Washington College of
Education
No RSVP is necessary for this panel discussion.
