No school Friday, either (but a work party this weekend at Sacajawea)

This afternoon the Seattle School District announced that all schools will remain closed Friday.

The Seattle Times has continuing coverage here.

Meanwhile, Alex emails:

The new Sacajawea Elementary School playground is in the final stages of being built, and is still in need of a number of volunteers to come help assemble the last of the equipment this Saturday (and perhaps Sunday).

Apparently, a number of teachers who were expected to give a hand have been told by the district they should remain off school grounds while the strike continues, Alex says he was told.

Here’s the original announcement:

Playground Assembly by PTA

The new playground needs to be assembled. Two work parties are scheduled, please lend a hand and let’s get this playground ready for the kids.

The build will begin at 8 AM

we need 30-40 volunteers

  1. Just to clarify, the teachers have not been “expected” to help, they volunteered to help. Administration told them that they aren’t allowed to help. The school was supposed to have the new playground last year, so we’re well overdue. It’s ridiculous that the teachers, in a non-teaching volunteer capacity, aren’t allowed to help.
    MLL: Thanks.
