Seattle a Digital Community Still in Transition Jessica Durkin, Tom Glaisyer, and Kara Hadge, Media Policy Initiative June 2010, Release 2.0
New America Foundation An Information Community Case Study: Seattle A digital community still in transition Jessica Durkin, Tom Glaisyer, and Kara Hadge, Media Policy Initiative June 2010, Release 2.0 Seattle, Washington, could be considered a city singularly suited to develop a healthy democracy in the digital age. The city government, citizens and business have created a productive environment for the next generation of information-sharing and community engagement. Years of economic growth and relative prosperity have fostered new, superior practices in news and information. Yet, losing a major print newspaper, as Seattle did when The Seattle Post-Intelligencer closed, adversely affects a community, by leaving it with one less place to provide public service journalism, stories about people and general community updates. In parallel, Seattle has been at the center of an explosion of alternative news outlets, especially online, which has created a critical mass of information portals for geographic and social communities. As the Knight Report, Informing Communities: Sustaining Democracy in a Digital Age, highlights, it is important to understand that there are three important elements to be considered as we analyze media and democracy in the 21st century: • availability of relevant and credible information to all Americans and their communities; • capacity of individuals to engage with information; and • individual engagement with information and the public life of the community. However, despite the relative vibrancy of the media scene, and even with all its demographic and other advantages, it is unclear how much of this innovation is sustainable. The local web is littered with websites that are no longer updated, and few of the startups boast anything like the journalistic firepower or profitability of the papers of the past. -
Inclement Weather Notification 2014-15
Inclement Weather Notification 2014-15 School closure, delay and early dismissal due to weather, road conditions and power outages are always a possibility in North Kitsap. Road conditions may vary in different parts of our district so parents and guardians should always use their own discretion in determining whether to send children to school or pick them up early if they feel conditions in their particular area are not safe. Because student safety is our number one priority and many of our parents/guardians are not able to return home from work to meet their children, our district will only dismiss students early from school in extreme situations. Parents should have a back-up plan if this happens. In the event of worsening weather conditions, the district may decide to release and transport secondary students (grades 6-12) early so that buses are ready to pick up elementary students at the scheduled time. Types of Closures or Delays No News is Good News! If you do not receive a call or email, and there is nothing announced on the local news, this means school is running on a regular schedule. School Closure - If school is closed, all out-of-district transportation, meetings, field trips, after- school activities, practices will be canceled for the day unless otherwise announced. All evening meetings/functions scheduled to take place in district facilities will also be canceled. Two-Hour Delay - If there is a two-hour delayed start, the following schedule changes will apply: • No Morning Kindergarten or Preschool • No Breakfast Program • No Out-of-District Transportation • No Elementary Band • No Secondary Zero-Hour Classes Early Release - In extreme conditions, school may be closed after the district has announced a two-hour delay due to further deterioration of the weather or students may be released early. -

Seattle Public Schools Ice/Snow Transportation Plan 2012-2013
Seattle Public Schools Ice/Snow Transportation Plan 2012‐2013 Introduction Inclement Weather and Ice and Snow From time to time throughout the school year, weather may force a change in the District’s normal operating routines. The District will make every effort to adhere to the established school calendar, bell schedules, and routes. However, there may be times when weather conditions make the usual routes unsafe or impassable. This document provides information about how decisions are made regarding the delay or possible closure of school, how information is disseminated to families, and what parents and guardians can expect. As inclement weather and traffic will affect bus schedules and routes, we ask that families be patient and understanding. We will do everything in our control to provide accurate information regarding pick‐ up times for your students. Please remember, the safety of your children is our primary concern. Recommendation and Decisions At approximately 2:00 a.m. on inclement weather days, designated school district transportation and operational personnel begin ongoing communications with staff in City of Seattle public works departments. School district transportation staff will drive roads throughout Seattle to determine the ability to safely transport students via school buses. The determination will be based on the status of arterials (major and minor), noting specific challenging areas; and existing and anticipated weather patterns as reported by NW Weathernet, local air traffic controllers, various news stations and surrounding school districts. Between 4:00 – 4:30 a.m. on these days, transportation staff call the Assistant Superintendent of Operations with their recommendations. The Assistant Superintendent and Superintendent render the decision for that day’s operations. -

Emergency Message Line 360-855-3573 (Spanish 360-855-3538) (Recorded Information Regarding School Schedule Changes)
PLEASE KEEP FOR FUTURE USE DURING ADVERSE WEATHER Sedro-Woolley School District 2020-2021 Emergency Communications Bulletin Emergency Message Line 360-855-3573 (Spanish 360-855-3538) (Recorded information regarding school schedule changes) Our district is large enough (395 square miles) that snow may accumulate in one area and not in other areas. Add in a pandemic with students learning both remotely and in person, and it adds up to trying to serve all of our students equitably while factoring in staff and student safety. Sedro-Woolley School District administrators have invested a great deal of thought into determining the following two scenarios. Possible 2020-2021 Adverse Weather Scenarios 2-Hour Delay: If a small weather system hits our area and roads/school sidewalks/ parking lots can be cleared by starting two hours late, we will shift to a late start. ALL students’ start times will shift by two hours, with schools releasing at normal times in the afternoon. Why not just start the in-person students late? Many students who are receiving in-person services also participate in remote learning classes. In order to offer equitable access, we need to have the same two-hour late schedule for all of our instruction. Starting two hours late will also allow staff members a safer commute, especially those who are unable to work remotely. Remote Asynchronous Learning: If a more substantial weather system hits our area, we will shift to asynchronous learning at home where students will complete assignments at their own pace with little to no “live” instruction. Why? We have a large number of staff members who do not have adequate internet access at home. -
