What was not clear in this report is this:

Part of the $10 million extra from Sealth will come from the infrastructure fund. That fund, under the bond measure language, is for air/water quality and resurfacing fields. According to Rebekah Schilperoort, the district answer is to resurface the fields but put air/water quality projects at Salmon Bay and Summit on hold.

Resurfacing playfields is more important than air/water quality at a K-8 and a K-12? That should tell you a lot about district priorities.

Also, I think it's great that both Directors de Bell and Sundquist feel a combined Denny/Sealth needs a full-time officer. However, the city ended that program. To get an officer the district would either have to pay for it itself (and where would that money come from) or get the city involved? That's no easy thing so the board should not count on it.

Sundquist is troubled by the poorly organized community engagement as well as well as the district's biased or less than factual answers to community questions. Who is he going to hold accountable and when might we see that?
