OSPI seeking input from educators, families and community members on educator working conditions
Working conditions in schools are very important.
The purpose of the Educator Working Conditions Survey is to gather input from educators, administrators, parents, and community members on the various factors that affect working conditions in schools. This includes parent and community involvement, leadership, professional learning, classroom support, and safety.
Estimated time and number of questions for respondents:
Teacher (including instructional coaches, department heads, vocational, literacy specialist, etc.): 25 minutes; up to 46 questions
Educational Staff Associate (school counselor, school psychologist, social worker, school nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech and language pathologist, or audiologist): 25 minutes; up to 43 questions
Paraeducator: 20 minutes; up to 39 questions
Principal or Assistant Principal: 20 minutes; up to 37 questions
District Administrator: 15 minutes; up to 20 questions
Parent, Guardian, or Community Member: 15 minutes; up to 17 questions
Respondents are able to save their progress and can resume where they left off later.
Data from this survey will be used to inform the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Your responses are important and we thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey.

City of Bellevue Energy Smart Challenge
The City of Bellevue is participating in a national competition called the Georgetown University Energy Prize, which is focused on reducing energy use and raising awareness around energy efficiency and conservation: http://www.ci.bellevue.wa.us/energysmart.htm We are working with a group of Bellevue high school students called the Eastside Energy Corps: http://greenwa.org/knowledge/eastside-energy-corps, to help spread the word and are asking residents of Bellevue to make a voluntary commitment or pledge to reduce energy use, as described in the attached flyer.
City of Bellevue Pedestrian and Bicycle Implementation Initiative
YOUR INPUT WILL HELP TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS IN BELLEVUE.
The City of Bellevue Transportation Commission is seeking community input. The Transportation Commission members will use feedback from an online, interactive wikimap, to make budget recommendations for citywide investments in bicycling infrastructure. Officials want the public's help to evaluate and prioritize the project ideas.
Residents and others can use the wikimap, available now through April 30, to comment on specific project ideas and understand the tradeoffs that sometimes are needed to improve the bicycle system. Examples of possible improvements include conventional bike lanes, separated bike lanes and off-street paths.
The wikimap builds on a similar effort last fall when more than 700 participants identified locations where they have noticed conditions making it uncomfortable for people walking and bicycling. Ideas presented in the current round of outreach respond to the feedback.
In all, 52 projects ideas covering 57 miles citywide, will be available for review at the open house, and via the wikimap. The project ideas, if implemented, would help connect bicyclists to where they want to go. All are designed to be completed over the next five years, pending funding.
