Seeking Applicants for Director District No. 2


The Bellevue School District Board of Directors is seeking applicants for Director District 2, after 13-year veteran Peter Bentley announced his retirement from the board effective June 28.   Reasons given by Mr. Bentley were that his youngest son recently graduated from Interlake High School and he no longer has children attending district schools; also, after working with Superintendent Amalia Cudeiro for the past year and with several School Board members for a longer period of time, he was confident he was leaving the district in good hands.

Applicants for appointment to this position must live within the boundaries of Director District 2.  Application materials, a letter from Dr. Cudeiro, job description and a timeline can be found on-line on the board webpage.

Superintendent, staff and students address BSF Spring for Schools


On May 27, Superintendent Amalia Cudeiro addressed a crowd of over 1,000 at the Bellevue Schools Foundation’s annual Spring For School fundraising luncheon.   Dr. Cudeiro reflected on her first year as superintendent and ways in which differentiated instruction and Instructional Leadership Teams (ILT) are helping the district eliminate the achievement gap.  Another highlight from the event was Sammamish High senior, Solomon Olatunji, who spoke of his experience in the Bellevue School District and how Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) helped him learn to take notes, stay organized and improve his study skills. 
Luncheon guests donated $538,000 after hearing all the success stories. 
 

ILTs and AVID are just two programs that are made possible with support from BSF.  If you missed Spring For Schools or simply want to review district staff and student presentations, use the text links below.  For more information on BSF, visit its website: www.bsfdn.org

A little known district committee has been busy researching the concept of “equity” as it pertains to the education system.  The committee brings together representatives from the district, PTA, Bellevue Schools Foundation, and two parent advisory groups -- the Parent Action and Advisory Council and Impulso Esolar Latino de Bellevue.  It calls itself the Equity Leaders Committee.  The work of the committee is being reported on the district blog.  Members have completed Phase 1 of their charge, namely, creating a definition of “equity” and would like staff and community to comment after each blog posting.
