[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Won’t the Eastside schools simply follow suit and implement similar policies as SPS?[/quote] They have their own problems. Bellevue needs to and will close schools but they’ve retreated after unexpected pushback by gifted and less wealthy communities of color (Odle, Phantom Lake, etc.). They’re going to have to take action soon but I think they see an opportunity to benefit from SPS’s mistakes and/or quietly slide big changes in when things get messy in Seattle. Other neighboring districts such as Shoreline are cutting extracurriculars and electives and will have more drama soon enough. Even wealthy school districts like Mercer Island have a tough road ahead- they have a resident population that is increasingly >65, equity rich and aging in place. They need major rebuilds for some of their schools and their HS graduating class size will drop by 25% this decade.[/quote]
