| Description: | Seattle Public Schools will host three community meetings, to be held on Nov. 28, 29 and Dec. 1, to share information and ask for feedback about the District’s short-term Capacity Management plan for the 2012-13 school year. The District is experiencing considerable enrollment growth, and with that comes challenges. We are gathering input and working on creating a short-, intermediate- and long-term plan to address our capacity. Our enrollment this year is about 48,500 students. We are using this enrollment, along with projections and community engagement, to analyze capacity for the 2012-13 school year.
A Facilities and Capacity Management Advisory Committee (FACMAC) was established in October, 2011. This volunteer group of community members represents all regions of the city and has diverse interests in various programs. Technical experts and school representatives are also part of the committee. The FACMAC is working with staff to identify and help address the short, intermediate and long term facilities challenges. As its first task, the group is focusing on our capacity issues for the 2012-13 school year. To gather as much feedback as possible, Seattle Public Schools will hold three additional community engagement meetings regarding the proposed capacity management plan:
The meetings will include presentations by Seattle Public Schools Capital Projects and Planning staff members, followed by a question and answer period. Comments from the community will be collected, recorded, considered and included in the District’s Short Term Capacity Management planning process.

Community Post
Seattle School District hosts meeting for Capacity Planning
While the main feature is about the planning for next year, it is the beginning of planning for the next round of BEX (Building Excellence Levy) planning and will provide a gateway into how the facility planners think about programs and attendance area schools. There will be an opportunity to talk to the planners individually. I encourage you to attend.
Can we arrest these people too?
