Capacity Management Task Force

5/26/2016

 
In response to the current and projected increased enrollment of Seattle Public Schools a task force is being formed to examine and prepare a set of recommendations to the superintendent for the purpose of being prepared for continued demands for future classroom space in our buildings at all levels.

Two major pressures on capacity availability within our buildings are:
  • increased enrollment growth
  • state funding of class size reduction in grades k-3

The role of the task force is to gather, analyze, review, and consider information and data and to prepare a report to the Superintendent of Schools regarding Seattle Public Schools capacity issues. Read the Capacity Management Task Force Charter.

If you would like to know more on how to get involved please check out the Task Force Information Page on the SPS Website.

​Come chat with us:
  • Tuesday, May 17, 6-8 p.m., SPED school and family partnerships
  • Wednesday, May 18, 5:30-8 p.m., Washington Middle School family HOST night

These conversations are the building blocks we will use to create a more intuitive navigation and a friendlier web experience. 

There is also another way you can tell us what you think:
Take our web survey and let us know what you want our websites to look and feel like.

This summer we will use your answers to plan. In the fall and winter we will ask you to help test the new websites, and then we will be ready to launch.
