The interim head of Seattle Public Schools on budgets, protests and beyond
Seattle Public Schools have only been back in session for about a month, but it’s already been a busy year for the district.
We wanted to get caught up on what’s been happening, so we reached out to Interim Superintendent Fred Podesta for a conversation last week.
We talked with him about school lunch protests, the budget, and a proposed pilot program to bring a school engagement officer back to one Seattle high school.
