Answering questions - may be a good time to ask a few direct ones.
School assignment plan is basis for curriculum
alignment/standardization? Explain the difference between alignment
and standardization. Doesn't the school board approve curriculum?
etc.....

The school year has come to a close, but not without its casualties.
Due to a major budget gap, the Seattle Public School District laid off
over 100 teachers, and closed several schools. The $34 million
shortfall in next year's budget will keep things lean and on the
chopping block. What can parents and students expect next year? How
will the New Student Assignment Plan affect school assignments?
