SPS Superintendent Community Engagement Meeting at Coe

Seattle Public Schools families, staff, and community members are invited to join Superintendent Ben Shuldiner for a Community Engagement Meeting at Coe Elementary.

These meetings are an opportunity to hear from SPS leadership, share feedback, and participate in conversations about issues that matter to our school communities.

Tuesday, January 12, 2027
6:30–8:00 p.m.
Coe Elementary School

Topics for the 2026–27 Community Engagement Meeting series include academic rigor, school design (including neighborhood schools, option schools, dual language, Highly Capable, and more), and school safety and security. Meeting topics throughout the year will continue to reflect priorities identified by the SPS community.

All Coe families are welcome and encouraged to participate and share their perspectives.
