Dr. Brent C. Jones has been the superintendent of Seattle Public Schools since March 2022. He initially served as the interim superintendent starting in May 2021. So, as of now, he has been in the role for about 2.5 years. Dr. Jones has failed the test of BUDGET 101.
this is how it works....the superintendent probably solicited to combine/close schools for budget cuts...then recently give himself, the superintendent, a bump raise...his salary with the raise is $400,000...nobody will notice huh>>>,,,KING 5 does not report that...
Seattle Public Schools receive significant funding from local voter-approved levies to supplement and enhance district programs. The Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy, for example, is placed on the ballot every three years and helps fund essential services like special education, additional staff, and child nutrition. In 2022, the EP&O Levy was approved for approximately $820 million over three years. Additionally, the Buildings, Technology, and Academics/Athletics (BTA) V Capital Levy, approved in 2022, provides $783 million over six years for school construction, technology, and building improvements. NO MORE EXTRA LEVY SUPPORT.
