Parents sue Olympia School District after decision to close three schools

Five parents who are attorneys filed a Notice of Appeal Nov. 13 in Thurston County Superior Court after the Olympia School District Board of Directors voted the night before to close Madison, McKenny and LP Brown elementary schools. District parent Marissa Smith shared a media statement and the appeal with The Olympian on Nov. 13. “The parents allege that the district failed to meet the minimum requirements in state law for public engagement,” according to the media statement. “According to the lawsuit, the school board cannot close any school until it first adopts a formal policy explaining how citizens will be involved in the development of the closure proposal. The parents argue that the school board’s current policy does not meet the statutory requirements for citizen engagement and therefore is invalid.” Parents are also concerned about Superintendent Patrick Murphy presenting a closure proposal without any formal request from the school board, according to the media statement. “The lawsuit cites a school board policy that says a closure proposal cannot proceed until the school board publicly requests a written analysis of the proposal from the district,” according to the media statement. The Olympian has reached out to district spokesperson Conor Schober,

How DJ Mims turned Puyallup into WA's best high school football team

When Luke Parker broke Puyallup High’s single-season touchdown receptions record in last week’s playoff win over Lewis & Clark, he didn’t have to go far to find the previous record holder. Dane Looker was standing on the sideline, in fact, when Parker recorded his record-breaking 19th touchdown catch. Looker, who played with quarterback Brock Huard in the mid-1990s, is Puyallup’s receivers coach. “Congratulations,” he told Parker, a senior captain. “You earned it.” Looker went on to play at the UW and in the NFL. “It was really rewarding to hear,” Parker said. “But you know, I’m not satisfied. I feel like the state’s championship’s our goal as a team.” That goal is within reach. The WIAA’s state high school football tournaments begin this week across Washington. Puyallup, which is 10-0, is the No. 1 seed in the Class 4A tournament. At this point in the season, Puyallup is the state’s undisputed No. 1 team. Just look at the resume. A 57-14 road win over Rocky Mountain, one of Idaho’s top programs. A 32-14 win over Bellevue, which is a 3A title contender. A 43-42 overtime road win over Lake Stevens, the No. 2 seed in the 4A state tournament. A
