On the same day Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson will receive her annual performance review, teachers, parents and students will rally and offer their evaluation of district leadership and performance this year, petitioning against Seattle schools’ Reduction in Force (RIF), or layoffs.

The Seattle Education Association and Educators, Students and Parents for a Better Vision of the Seattle Schools have united their parent-teacher-student coalition against an estimated 165 teacher layoffs, including seven cuts at Ballard High; six teachers and a counselor at Whitman; three teachers at Adams; two more at West Woodland and Salmon Bay each, and lastly, one at Whittier.

The rally is a symbol of unprecedented solidarity and support between parents and the teachers’ union, creating a shift in Seattle’s history of education politics to fight for Seattle’s children and the future of education, according to a release from the group.

The protest is scheduled to take place on June 3, 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. before the 6 p.m. school board meeting at the John Stanford Center, 2445 3rd Ave. S.

The Seattle School District has laid off an estimated 165 classroom teachers and 59 other educators at a time when Washington State ranks 46th in the nation in teacher-to-student ratio.

“We've had enough disruption with school closures and now we are asking our students to live with the loss of their teachers, who they have come to trust and rely on," said Seattle Public Schools parent Dora Taylor. "It's not the way to treat our children or their schools."
