STATEMENT FROM THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
SEAB Update - June 28, 2022In May of 2021, towards the end of an over-yearlong series of meetings and restorative circles between members of SEAB and members of the school board, the full board heard a passionate presentation from members of SEAB about their experiences. These were humbling, and in many ways difficult conversations. They were also necessary. What we learned created an opportunity for deep reflection and reaffirmed our commitment to address previous challenges and build a stronger framework for the future.To strengthen and sustain the program, the SEAB subcommittee worked over the last year with multiple district departments and individuals to make the kinds of changes SEAB members recommended as well as identify other obstacles to the program's success. We were intentional about taking the time to do it right, so we could honor the feelings and experiences of our most recent SEAB cohort by offering a strong, fresh start to our next cohort.The SEAB subcommittee is excited to share its progress in pursuit of restarting SEAB in the 2022-2023 school year. The SEAB Facilitator position will be posted July 5th and will remain posted for at least 10 days. The SEAB subcommittee anticipates conducting interviews the last week of July and the hiring of a SEAB Facilitator by early-mid August. We will provide updates through the end of summer and into fall as new information is available.The SEAB subcommittee thanks the Innovation Team, Human Resources, and Finance for their support throughout this process. And extra special thanks to Board Administrator Kaying Thao for her considerable efforts, guidance, and thoughtfulness throughout this process.UPCOMING MEETINGS- Committee of the Board Meeting | Wednesday, August 10, 2022 beginning at 4:30 p.m.
