My idea for Seattle Public Schools is...

Run an approval poll of the Superintendent

It would be interesting to know what the Superintendent's current approval rating is with the parents of students in Seattle Public Schools.

Polls can be run very cheaply these days. For $50-100, anyone could run a telephone approval rating poll of the current administration using services like CallFire.

It would be an easy article for someone in the press. At this point, it is widely assumed that the superintendent's policies have made her unpopular, but just how unpopular is not clear. Getting her approval rating would be of interest to parents, teachers, administrators, the school board, the mayor's office, the city council, and many others.

        Excellent idea. The poll should be directed to parents, students, teachers and staff in the Seattle school district. We are the people who know the most and are the most affected by the superintendent's decisions.

        They do this in other districts and there is no reason why we shouldn't do that here.
