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:
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.

And we want to hear from you. We are tracking analytics, talking with people who use our websites, conducting interviews and holding community meetings. Come chat with us:
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.  SCREENAGERS probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including the director's own, and depicts messy struggles, over over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through surprising insights from authors and brain scientists solutions emerge on how we can empower kids to best navigate the digital world.
