Seattle parents call in attorneys over school district's highly capable program changes
Manage episode 417240355 series 3303135
In late April, the PTAs at Cascadia and Decatur Elementaries, two highly capable cohort schools, retained a lawyer and sent a letter to the district outlining concerns about the changes to the highly capable program.
The letter alleges that SPS doesn’t have the resources to adequately implement the neighborhood school model. And so closing the cohort schools would be a violation of a state law – one that requires districts to provide an educational program for highly capable students.
