Today is the first day of the 2027 Washington State Legislative Session. This is a long (budget) session expected to last 105 days, concluding on April 26, 2027.

I am convinced that men hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other because they don’t communicate with each other, and they don’t communicate with each other because they are separated from each other.

— Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from his 1962 address at Cornell College

Kulanka Hogaaminta Kala-duwanaanta, Sinaanta & Ka-qaybgalka (DEI)

Dhammaan waa lagu soo dhoweynayaa!

Waxaan rumaysanahay in kala-duwanaantu tahay xooggeenna, sinaantu ay horseed u tahay himiladeenna, wada-shaqayntuna ay khasab tahay in ay noqoto mid loo dhan yahay.

Himiladeennu waa in aan xaqiijinno awoodda ilma walba adigoo kaashanaya, dhiirigelinaya, una doodayo dhammaan carruurta. Tani waxay suuragal ku tahay oo keliya iskaashi iyo wada-jir buuxa oo ay ka qaybqaataan tabaruceyaal, shaqaale, macallimiin, dugsiyo iyo bulshooyin kala duwan. Shaqadeennu waxay ka bilaabataa dhisidda xiriirro waxayna naga rabtaa inaan aqoonsanno una wajahno eexda iyo mudnaanta, isla markaana aan tixgelinno xaaladda dhaqameed iyo awood qaybsiga bulshada.

Turjumaad ASL, Soomaali, iyo Isbaanish ah ayaa la bixin doonaa. Haddii aad rabto turjumaad luqad kale ah, fadlan iimayl u dir secretary@scptsa.org.

Xiriiriyaha kulanka Zoom-ka ayaa soo socda dhawaan.

Almuerzo y Aprendizaje de Liderazgo sobre Diversidad, Equidad e Inclusión de SCPTSA

En Zoom. ¡Todos son bienvenidos!

Creemos que la diversidad es nuestra fortaleza, la equidad impulsa nuestra misión y la colaboración debe ser inclusiva.

Nuestra misión es hacer realidad el potencial de cada niño involucrando y empoderando a las familias y comunidades para que aboguen por todos los niños. Solo podemos lograr esto en plena colaboración y asociación con el grupo más amplio posible de voluntarios, personal, educadores, escuelas y comunidades. Nuestro trabajo comienza con la construcción de relaciones y requiere que reconozcamos y abordemos los prejuicios y los privilegios, y que tengamos en cuenta el estatus cultural y las dinámicas de poder. 

Se ofrece interpretación en lenguaje de señas americano (ASL), somalí y español. Para solicitar interpretación a otro idioma, envíe un correo electrónico a secretary@scptsa.org

Regular School Board Meetings are generally held on Wednesdays and members of the public are welcome to attend.

Board meetings are held at the John Stanford Center for Educational Excellence, live streamed on SPSTV and broadcast on television on Comcast 26 (standard-def) and 319 (hi-def), Wave 26 (standard-def) and 695 (hi-def), and Century Link 8008 (standard-def) and 8508 (hi-def).

Meeting agendas and relevant materials are posted at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled meeting.

During Regular Board Meetings, the Board takes public testimony. Public testimony will be taken in person and by teleconference from those who sign up to provide testimony and who are placed on the testimony list.

To sign up for public testimony, members of the public should use the public testimony sign-up form on the day and time indicated on the relevant agenda (usually 8 a.m. on the Monday before the meeting) and no later than noon on the scheduled day of the meeting.

If you would like help with public testimony, Seattle Council PTA Board members are happy to assist. Please reach out to secretary@scptsa.org.

Every month Seattle Council PTSA Board of Directors meets with SPS Superintendent Ben Shuldiner and a few central office directors.

These meetings are a space to foster authentic partnership and collaboration between administrators, educators and parents. Our goal is to build strong relationships built on trust and create space for underrepresented voices in the SPS community can speak truth to power with grace, gain understanding of the SPS decision making process, and together cultivate generative conversation centered on growth and the wellbeing of all students.
