Help plan the next use of the Columbia School Meeting on Saturday, March 29 at 10:00 AM at Tutta Bella. In the summer of 2009, the New School will leave the Columbia School for its new facility in Rainier Beach and for the first time in more than 100 years, a public school may not be operating in the heart of Columbia City. Over the coming year, the Seattle School District will likely decide what to do with the soon to be vacant Columbia School building. The community has founded Friends of Columbia School (FoCS) to facilitate an open dialogue about the future of the property in hopes of creating a coalition to communicate with the Seattle School District and develop a vision that reflects the community's wishes. The planning process will begin with a community outreach campaign and will be designed to foster and encourage the exchange of information and opinions. The process will be focused around a series of large community meetings over four to six months. On March 29 we'll begin discussing the planning process and hope to begin the process this fall. RSVP for March 29 meeting to: Rebecca Cate at ten.tsacmoc|etackr#ten.tsacmoc|etackr or 760-8078 |
