FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS VOTE EXCLUSIVELY THE STRANGER BALLOT. Vote for Clark over Smith for School Board. Clark has stuck her neck out over and over again publicly in a way that has over and over changed SPS policy. She knows the issues, has an excellent head start, and is a former SPS student.

Big news: Seattle school board member Sarah Clark comes out against a dumb district proposal to split HS lunches. Students are headed to district offices right now to protest. Clark was also the first board member to oppose last yearās closure plan. Iām strongly supporting her reelection!

Once again this week the Seattle Times gets a school board endorsement right, backing

New traffic patterns/street closure/school street at Washington Middle School after the death of a student walking on the sidewalk to recess. This is the first I've seen these specific School Street signs! Glad to see SPS and SDOT putting student safety first.

SO sad about neighborhood stores, and I donāt understand why the amendment to notify parents of sexual assault accusations didnāt go on the HB 1296 aside from both of these being GOP in origin. Can Dās either find a way to take credit or just let them have these? These should be easy wins.

Peggi Fu, SPS parent, including North Beach. Reject plans for creating mega elementary schools in BEX Levy. Can't do this more. Didn't proactively plan for big schools, no transparency in BEX V. Select right location, redraw boundaries. Engaged with NB 5 years ago would have embraced it. š„
