Seattle Public Schools is really going to suffer from cutting off HCC and advanced academics. Seattle private school applications are through the ROOF right now because of this. SPS will end up losing students, losing funding, and slip into a precipitous decline even worse than it is now.
(my kids both go to public, my wife teaches in public… we’re advocates for public education but none of the current SPS policies will result in positive outcomes for public education)
@cheribaker Plenty of schools will end up reducing staffing even further as a result of this. I know private schools that are head hunting teachers out of public in seattle right now. this is going to be a brain drain of talent and capability but it will have eliminated some bad looking numbers for SPS that, rather than address, they chose to just erase by killing off these programs.
