Wow, so many scary issues here.

The WSD is not failing ! Teachers and other staff are working incredibly hard to help students learn. Board members and the new Supt have been instrumental in balancing the budget, dealing with declining enrollment, and forced staffing reductions.

This is exemplary reporting! I'm mortified by the involvement GCC has in politics in this town. Thank goodness you and Stella are keeping us informed!

Thank you, Suzanne. I appreciate your kind words. It does say a lot when a couple of people with other full-time jobs are covering newsworthy stuff that folks who are paid full time to be reporters and editors completely ignore.

YES!! : "When folks take such great lengths to influence electoral politics while also concealing their identities, that’s a red flag no matter what side of the aisle you’re on."

Wow. The entitlement of some people? Did she think she would get away with this? And why didnt the Wenatchee school board question her in person absences? I shudder to think of the indoctrination MacPherson plans to inflict on those children. I will be curious how thorough any accreditation process is. I assume such a school needs approval by the government...😲

I know Dominic will most likely inform us. I Don't think there are as many oversights of private schools as we think. While GCC is already very reminiscent of Bethesda back in the 70-80s, opening a school is just one more mirror of that time.

I remember the Bethesda times. GCC is way beyond that. Way scarier. Way cultier. Way more armed to the teeth, readying for the oncoming persecution.

So, apparently Katherine's parents will be involved in GCC's school? Self-serving manipulative motive for a smear campaign against the school district and public schools in general.

This school will also be another source of revenue for GCC. Convincing the community that our public schools are failing is a ploy to increase their wealth and power.
