Get on the agenda for the April 6 School Board Meeting!!!

Just as a reminder, in order to get on the agenda for Wednesday night's School Board meeting, we each need to call (206) 252-0040 or e-mail boardagenda@seattleschools.org at 8am on Monday morning.

Folks are more likely to get on the agenda if they choose a topic from something already on the agenda. Here is the agenda:http://district.seattleschools.org/modules/groups/homepagefiles/cms/1583136/File/Departmental%20Content/school%20board/10-11%20agendas/040611agenda/040611agenda.pdf

This may seem a bit sneaky, but it's pretty common.

Good luck, and PLEASE let us know if you get on the agenda. The PTSA will be meeting on Tuesday to discuss our testimony. We're really hoping to get a few people on the agenda. The more people that try, the better luck we'll have.

Here are directions from the District:

The order of public testimony will be determined as follows: agenda action items, agenda introduction items, and then items of general interest. The order of agenda items will be alternated between those speaking in favor of a topic and those against the same topic.

The board agenda is posted by close of business the Friday before board meetings. The School Board Office will take sign-ups for the public testimony list starting at 8:00am on the Monday before regular board meetings and continue until 12:00 noon Tuesday before the meeting. The final list of public testimony will be posted on the board agenda web page by close of business the day before the regular board meeting.

Members of the public can call (206) 252-0040 or e-mail boardagenda@seattleschools.org and give their legal name, telephone number, e-mail address, and the topic they would like to address. (Since Seattle Public Schools is a public agency, this information will fall into the public domain.) If complete information is not provided, you will not be included on the list.
The School Board Office is not able to contact every person who requests to speak at the meeting. Each person should check the website on Tuesday after 5:00pm to see where they are on the testimony list or whether they are on the waitlist.
