社区努力重塑资源充足的学校体系

The well-resourced schools community engagement will help shape a vision grounded in the values and aspirations of our diverse community.​ It represents the community vision of what programs, 服务, and resources that 学生 need to succeed and thrive in the neighborhoods where they live.  ​

The community vision will provide a foundation to frame challenges and opportunities for the vision for a system of well-resourced schools. 它还将指导未来的战略规划和资源分配决策

社区参与 Current Status October 2023

正规买足球的App(SPS)致力于倾听您的声音. The goal for the well-resourced schools conversations—as well as the survey—is to gather input from our community so that SPS can make effective decisions about major initiatives and issues. 

2023年8月到10月, 正规买足球的App completed a series of five (5) in-person and two (2) online community engagement meetings open to all families, 工作人员, 学生, and community members; internal engagement sessions for school 工作人员; and a districtwide community survey. ​

以下是我们目前了解到的情况:  

• No school site consolidations or closures for 2023-24.
• The input gathered from this meeting series and the survey will be compiled and will inform Superintendent Jones’ recommendations for the 2024-25 school year, 他将在2023年11月与西雅图买正规足球比赛的app分享这些信息.  
• Families will hear an update on plans for the 2024-25 school year—including consolidation plans, 如果有的话——到一月份, 赶上2024年的入学时间. 

听到反馈的早期主题 

These community conversations are centered around small group discussion of three questions. 问题是:  

• What are your favorite things about your school building? 
• 我们如何使每个学校的资源和服务更强大? 
• 你和你的学生最看重什么样的课程?为什么? 

SPS研究团队正在努力分析社区反馈. Here are some early themes that have come forward in their work reviewing the community engagement feedback gathered from community meetings and survey. 

参与问题:你最喜欢学校建筑的哪个部分?   

For the first question about what community members appreciate about their school building, 我们经常听到社区成员喜欢干净, safe well-maintained schools and grounds, 尤其是户外和自然空间，比如操场, 花园, 和字段, as well as natural indoor lighting and common spaces for 学生 and family to gather and build community. 

参与问题:我们如何使每个学校的资源和服务更强大? 

For the second question about how community members feel SPS should strengthen 服务 and resources at each school, we’ve heard frequently about the importance of funding full-time support 工作人员 like counselors, 护士, 还有每个学校的社工, and providing mental health 服务 in addition to tutoring and other academic supports to accelerate student learning; community members also prioritize expanding key 服务 such as for special education, 正规买足球的App, 还有上学前和放学后的看护, 有些人主张更公平地重新分配优惠贸易区的资源. 

参与问题:你和你的学生最看重什么样的课程，为什么? 

对于第三个问题，关于学校编程社区成员最看重什么, we’ve heard most frequently so far about the importance of continuing investments in creative outlets like arts, 音乐, 和戏剧, as well as K-12 athletics and sports programs. Community members value acceleration in reading and math, 但也要以项目为基础, 亲自动手的, collaborative learning opportunities, 并表达对计算机科学和机器人等STEM项目的支持, as well as educational experiences and programming leading to diverse vocational and career pathways.
