Seattle Progress to Date: Closing Observations and Comments

  • In June 2004, the District participated in an "interim evaluation video conference" with representatives of the U.S. Department of Education. A number of examples were shared that highlighted how our Local-Flex program directly benefited principals, teachers and students.
  • Currently the District is completing an overall assessment of the impact of the Local Flexibility program on student achievement.
  • The District's Local-Flex Demonstration Program Annual Performance Report was completed and submitted to the U.S. Department of Education, November 5, 2004.
  • Based upon informal comments from building level and central office staff, we believe the investment in the Local Flexibility Demonstration Program has been well worth the effort. We believe that it will become even more valuable to the District in the future as we struggle to meet the academic needs of all of our students while facing potential reductions in local and federal funding and increasing demands to provide high quality schools.
