Chat with Seattle Schools Superintendent Maria L. Goodloe-Johnson on October 12

On Tuesday of this week, Superintendent Maria L. Goodloe-Johnson announced that she’ll be hosting a series of Community Coffee Chats in October and November for all parents, grandparents and caregivers of Seattle Public Schools students.

The chat for NE Seattle is scheduled for Tuesday, October 12 from 8:10-9:10am 9-10am at Jane Addams K-8 (11051 34th Ave NE).

Yeah, you read that right: 8AM.

You may need some coffee before you head out for that coffee.

Here’s the pdf of the announcement, which includes the dates and locations of the other four Community Coffee Chats as well.

UPDATE: I have since learned that the meeting at Jane Addams K-8 is from 9-10am, NOT 8:10-9:10am as the pdf previously stated (it has since been fixed).

Thank you to Dorothy at enforcetopdownreform.blogspot.com for the notice about the time correction.
