Whereas the Superintendent’s strategic plan was drawn up by the McKinsey and Co, who advocate for charter schools nation-wide, and
Whereas the Superintendent’s performance management plan does not address the real needs of struggling students but instead holds teachers and schools accountable for issues beyond their control, and
Whereas the Superintendent’s poor judgment and handling of school closures resulted in needless disenfranchisement of minority families and the overcrowding of schools, and
Whereas the Superintendent’s new student assignment plan will result in increased racial and economic segregation, and
Whereas the Superintendent’s poor management resulted in laying off then rehiring needed teachers, and
Whereas the Superintendent has failed to submit a certified Record on four grassroots-initiated law suits in violation of RCW 28A.645.020, thereby circumventing citizen’s rights to due process,
Be it resolved the staff at Schmitz Park, by majority vote, hereby declare we have NO CONFIDENCE in the leadership of Superintendent Goodloe-Johnson.

I am so happy to see these outcries. I am shocked and saddened at the attitude of those guiding the Seattle school district.
I fear for the fabulous Alternative Schools both my children attend. These are schools that meet the needs of many children. Children who are successful by their school’s existence.
I stand behind the no confidence vote.
Thank you Schmitz Park Teachers!!! I am so proud of you!!! We have never been more proud to be a Schmitz Park Family :)
