"Shoreline School District is a Cult of Deception" said a Shoreline SESPA Worker.

SESPA Workers Demonstrate for Workplace Fairness

Tonite's Shoreline School Board meeting was attended by approximately 100 Shoreline Education Support Professionals, teachers and other community members. They held a demonstration outside beforehand. About a dozen spoke to the School Board. Many told their personal stories, but many expressed exasperation at the delay tactics displayed by Shoreline School District Administration and no leadership from the School Board who sat stone faced throughout.

One worker admonished the SSD and Board stating that "The Shoreline School District IS a Cult of Deception!" There was a huge ovation from the crowd.

It is sad to say that this has been the attitude of the District on many issues in the last few years.

The newest outrage is of course the process now underway about the hostile eviction of the Shoreline Historical Museum and proposal to gut the 100 year old Landmarked Ronald School. The District has now succeeded apparently in strong arming the Shoreline Historical Museum Board and will evict them in the next few months.

SSD is Planning to "Gut" this Landmarked building to create their new facade

The latest chapter begins this week. We were shocked to find out tonite that the the King County Landmarks Commission has already been meeting with Basetti Achitects. (Apparently, it's a cozy little relationship, between them and the "Architects Review Committee" of the Commission) and there is a full meeting of the Commission this Thursday. This is rather shocking, since there has been absolutely no
Legal Notice to anyone who is a "Party Of Record".

The School District is required to get a "Certificate of Appropriateness" to undertake changes in the Landmarked building.  One would think that "gutting the building" would be seen as a significant change to require the Commission to have some pause before rubber stamping approval.

But since no one was made aware that this process was underway, how would they know anything other than what the Basetti Architects and Shoreline School District Administration want them to know?

Again, the Shoreline School District has shown they cannot be trusted with our tax dollars or our children.

Another chapter in the "Cult of Deception" Chronicles unfolds.
