Public Testimony at Regular School Board Meetings
The Seattle Public School Board welcomes members of the public to the legislative meetings of the Board and dedicates time at these meetings to hear from the public on agenda items and other issues of concern.

It is important for all community members to feel welcome and safe in the Board’s business meetings. Audience members will be expected to treat all attendees with respect and civility, just as Seattle Public Schools expects of students in our school.

How to Sign Up

Per Board Procedure 1430BP, the order of public testimony will be determined as follows: the student speaker from the assigned district high school and then those speaking to agenda action items, then agenda introduction items, and then items of general interest. Current district students who sign up through the process outlined in Board Procedure 1430BP, identify themselves as students, and are among the 20 (or 25) speakers on the speakers list, will be placed immediately following the first speaking slot. The Board agenda is posted by close of business the Friday before Board meetings. The School Board Office will take sign-ups for the public testimony list starting at 8 a.m. on the Monday before regular Board meetings and continue until 12 p.m. Tuesday before the meeting.

The final list of public testimony will be posted on the meeting's agenda by the close of business the day before the regular Board meeting. All meeting agendas are located on the Board agenda webpage.

To sign up for public testimony, members of the public should do one of the following:

* Sign up online between 8 a.m. on the Monday before the meeting and 3:30 p.m. the day of the meeting (Note: this method replaces the prior email sign-up process); or
* Call 206-252-0040 during that time

Please provide the following information when signing up for testimony:

* Full name;
* Contact information (telephone number & e-mail address); and
* The topic they would like to address.

Please note: Speakers must sign up for themselves, with the exception of students signed up by a parent or guardian and individuals who may need an accommodation for the public testimony sign-up process, including those with disabilities or those requiring language interpretation services. Additionally, if complete information is not provided, you will not be included on the list. The Board Office will not follow-up to obtain correct information or tell you where you are on the list.

Please visit this page for information on ADA Access.

General Rules

Public Testimony at Regular Board Meetings is governed by Audience Participation Board Policy No. 1430 and Board Procedure 1430BP.

There are twenty (20) speaking spots available at each Regular Legislative Board meeting. Each speaker on the public testimony list will have up to two (2) minutes to speak. In the event that thirty five (35) or more public testimony requests are received prior to the start of the Board meeting, an additional five (5) speaking slots will be made available for that meeting only, for a total of twenty five (25) speakers.

If you want to give (cede) your time to someone else, you must attend the Board meeting and announce this to the Board when it is your turn to speak. The person to whom you cede your time, will receive the remainder of your 2 minutes and should speak to the same topic. As you have ceded your speaking time, you will not be able to speak again at the meeting.

If you have handouts to give to the Board, please bring 10 copies and give them to Board staff ahead of the meeting. No one should approach the dais with handouts.[9]

2020-2021[11] |  $51,310  |  $118,757

## Academic performance[edit]

### Proficiency assessments[edit]

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[12]

#### Mathematics[edit]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[13]

School year  |  All (%)  |  Asian/Pacific
Islander (%)  |  Black (%)  |  Hispanic (%)  |  Native
American (%)  |  Two or More
Races (%)  |  White (%)

## Noteworthy events[edit]

### 2021: Recall effort[edit]

See also: Seattle Public Schools recall, Washington (2021)

An effort to recall six of the seven members of the Seattle Public Schools school board in Washington did not go to a vote in 2021. A King County Superior Court judge dismissed the recall petition on April 19, 2021.[18]

The recall charges were filed against Liza Rankin, Lisa Rivera Smith, Chandra Hampson, Zachary DeWolf, Leslie Harris, and Brandon Hersey in March 2021. District IV representative Erin Dury was not included in the recall effort as she was not a member of the board at the time charges were filed. She was appointed to the position on March 24, 2021.[19][20]

Recall supporters said the board had failed to transition to in-person instruction in a timely manner. Seattle Public Schools started out the 2020-2021 school year in remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[21][22] The board voted on March 24, 2021, to move Pre-K through fifth-grade students into in-person instruction starting in April 2021.[19] When dismissing the petition, Judge Mafé Rajul said the decision to close schools was a “discretionary act and members of a school board cannot be recalled unless they arbitrarily or unreasonably exercised such discretion.” She said the school board members had not acted arbitrarily or unreasonably when they voted to close the schools.[18]

### 2013: Contract negotiations[edit]

Members of the Seattle Education Association (SEA) rejected a contract offer from the district during a meeting on August 26, 2013. Teachers said they were concerned about limited salary growth, crowded classrooms, and new evaluation methods in the new contract.[23] District officials and the SEA avoided a potential strike on September 3, 2013, as teachers voted to approve a new two-year contract that increased pay by 2% and included test scores in teacher evaluations.[24]

### 2013: Growing classroom sizes[edit]

In August 2013, district officials and the Seattle Board of Directors proposed increasing the maximum number of students per classroom in response to anticipated continued growth in enrollment. The proposal suggested increasing enrollment limits by two students per middle school teacher and 10 students per high school teacher. The Seattle Education Association (SEA) criticized the proposal, saying it was problematic for the student experience.[25] On August 22, 2013, the Board of Directors voted to remove the proposal from negotiations with the SEA.[26]
