Annual Friends of Renton Schools breakfast nets $165,000 in donations

BY TRACEY COMPTON

tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The Renton business and school community got a peek at what the Renton School District has been up to with its science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs Monday during the sixth annual Friends of Renton Schools Fundraising Breakfast.

About 200 people attended the event, with 133 donors raising nearly $20,000 for the nonprofit that supports Renton schools. Pre-breakfast donations amounted to $144,450 and early estimates raised the total from the event to more than $165,000, as of April 28.

Many community and business leaders, principals and teachers attended the breakfast, including Sally Boni, a

MicroSociety coordinator at Talbot Hill Elementary.

“I think it’s important because it gets the community all together,” she said, adding that it allows the school to be seen as part of the larger community.

Renton resident and local TV personality Meeghan Black emceed the breakfast and former sports director for King 5 and Kiro 7, Tony Ventrella, was the keynote speaker. Ventrella is currently the Digital Media Host of Seahawks.com and was accompanied by team mascot Blitz.

“The effect of a good teacher on the world could produce a ripple effect,” Ventrella said, sharing stories about his favorite three teachers growing up.

The audience got some insight on what students in the [ more BREAKFAST page 15 ]

City looking at ways to slow traffic in Kennydale

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Acting on the requests of citizens in the area, the city this month shared the results of a traffic study in the Kennydale and possible plans to slow traffic through the residential neighborhood.

According to the deputy public works administrator, residents concerned about speeders contacted the city, which responded by placing the radar trailer at several locations in the neighborhood to review the issue.

According to Jacobson, the radar trailers, which were placed on Park Avenue North, North 30th Street and Burnett Avenue North, showed that while the average speed was only a few miles per hour above the posted 25 mph limit, the 85th percentile - the number he said was a better judge of speed for traffic planners - showed drivers going at least 6 mph above the posted limit in all zones and up to 10 mph over on southbound Park Avenue.

Because of that, the city is looking into [ more TRAFFIC page 15 ]

King County Fire District 20, along with mutual aid from Tukwila and Renton Fire, responded to a reported house fire Thursday afternoon in the 6900 block of South 125th Street.

The resident said the lights flicker then heard a pop and bang coming from downstairs.

While investigating she found sparks coming from the electrical box and she evacuated with her children.

When firefighters arrived they found light smoke coming from the house with dark smoke in the basement. Firefighters were able to limit the spread of the fire to the basement corner.

The King County Sheriffs Office Fire Investigation Unit determined the cause of the fire to be electrical.

There were no injuries, damage was estimated at $3,000 and the Seattle Red Cross is assisting the family.

A Renton Police officer assisted two state troopers take a suspect into custody in a routine traffic stop April 11 on Sunset Boulevard North.

The two troopers called for backup while struggling to control a 32-year-old Bellevue man at Northeast Third Street.

The Renton officer told the man to stop resisting, took hold of his right arm and rolled him onto his stomach. The suspect refused to put his left arm behind his back, despite orders from the officer and troopers to do so.

One trooper deployed a stun gun and the other trooper pulled the suspect’s left arm from underneath him.

State troopers continued the investigation.

UNDERGARMENT ARGUMENT: An argumentative 51-year-old Renton man was found in his underwear April 11 in a Renton hotel with an 18-year-old woman, who was naked.

Renton officers were called to the hotel on East Valley Road after the man ignored hotel employee requests that he leave.

The suspect was argumentative; the woman tried to calm him, saying “It’s OK, daddy.” The officer knew the term “daddy” is used by prostitutes in sex trafficking to refer to their pimps. Suspicions were raised, too, because of the age difference and there was a digital camera, which pimps use to take photos of their prostitutes for posting online.

The man wasn’t arrested because there was no chargeable offense.

With more than 29 miles of land waiting to be turned into a new Eastside trails backbone, the city and county is getting ready to hear public input on their plans for the old Burlington Northern train tracks, running from Renton all the way to Woodinville.

Only about two miles of the new trail would be located in Renton, but from there, walkers, hikers and bikers would be able to get all the way to Woodinville, about 22 miles, as well as access a 7-mile spur from Woodinville to Redmond.

As proposed, the trail would form a “backbone” of a larger system and link to several other trails in the region, including the Burke-Gilman Trail, the Interurban Trail and the Cedar River Trail, among others.

The section of possible trail in Renton begins just north of Gene Coulon Memorial Park (the tracks that run along the park are still used by Boeing to deliver 737 fuselages to the Renton plant) and run north past the Virginia Mason Athletic Center.

The county acquired the land

These tracks just south of Lake Washington Boulevard and Burnett Street could become a trail, serving as a ‘backbone’ to a larger trail systerm. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter from the Port of Seattle in 2012 as part of the Rails to Trails program and things began to get serious in March 2014 when work began on a master plan for the entire system.

This past week, representatives from all of the stakeholders, including cities and the county, met to discuss the plans, which head out for public comment this spring and summer.

According to a report from Erica Jacobs to the Committee

of the Whole the county recently completed a full assessment of the land and is now ready to begin talking about possibilities on each individual segment.

The right-of-way for the new trail is an average of 60 to 80 feet wide, though there are several “pinch points,” including the section in Renton, where the BNSF tracks are hemmed in by steep slopes and the residential housing.

In some places, Jacobs said, it

makes sense to keep the trail on top of the rail bed, where in others, it can be placed near the track location, to keep alive the possibility of the rails once again being used for trains, though Jacobs admitted that was a “remote possibility” at best when asked about it by Councilmember Randy Corman.

Jacobs also said the City of Kirkland has already removed the tracks through their section and replaced it with a temporary trail.

Jacobs said it was a “calculated risk” by the city, but added that the current tracks are not in the best of shape and would probably have to be replaced anyway if BNSF decided to press them back into service.

Deputy Public Works Administrator Doug Jacobson serves as Renton’s representative among the stakeholders and said this week that the new trail could be a boon to the city.

“Done right, we see advantages to having that,” he said.

Public meetings on the proposals are scheduled to begin in June.

Students to get ‘real’ ballots for ASB elections

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

This spring high school students in the Renton School District will cast their votes for student government candidates using realistic ballots created by the King County Elections Office.

The pilot project is the brainchild of Rep. Steve Bergquist, 11thDistrict, in partnership with King County Elections Director Sherril Huff and Damian Pattenaude, area instructional chief with the school district. The idea is to take the mystery out of registering to vote and break down the idea that it’s difficult.

“Especially in the Renton School District, a lot of the kids are the first citizens who get an opportunity to vote in any campaign,” said Bergquist. “Their parents might not even have a ballot.”

Giving students a realistic ballot also gives them an authentic experience he hopes will motivate them to become registered to vote by the

ties to engage students in developing lifelong, good voting habits,” said Rene LeBeau.

She is the government relations manager for the King County Elections Office.

“We met Representative Bergquist when he came to tour our facility and met soon after where the idea of a pilot program was formed,” she said.

Elections Director Huff expressed an interested in working with students in the past. Two years ago, when the office began their strategic plan work, officials incorporated the idea as one of their goals, to do voting demonstrations with high school students.

Bergquist was familiar with the ASB elections process as a former social studies teacher at Lindbergh High School. He’s currently on unpaid political leave of absence from his teaching job while he serves in the state House, but still subs in the district.

Bergquist worked two years ago to get a budget measure in place

that calls for every high school senior to be given the opportunity to register to vote on January 16.

That’s Temperance and Good Citizenship Day in Washington state, a law that was established in 1923.

On that day, the superintendent of public instruction is supposed to give out curriculum in observance of particular laws. So Bergquist added voting education for seniors into that curriculum.

He recently gave a talk to Whatcom County students via the internet and instructed them on how to register with their cell phones.

He hopes if given the opportunity and exposure, students will become more proactive when it comes to registering.

“Well, I think long term this program coupled with Temperance and Good Citizenship Day will hopefully lead to more student awareness and involvement in our registration process for voting,” Bergquist said. “Hopefully it will lead to more 16- to 17-year-olds pre-registering to vote.”

time they turn 18.

Bergquist has pushed for similar measures to give 16- and 17-yearolds the opportunity to pre-register to vote. The legislation passed the House, but never made it out of the state Senate.

He got the idea to introduce realist ballots to high schools after visiting the Rep. Bergquist Spokane County Elections Office last June, as the vice chair of the state Government Committee. There he saw how the county elections office worked with the school district to produce ballots for Associated Student Body (ASB) elections and tally the votes.

In Renton, the ballots will just resemble official King County ballot stock. They won’t be printed on the very same type of paper. For now, the student government ballots will be counted by hand.

Since 2000, the executive said King County has seen a net increase of 85,000 households but less than 4 percent of these are middleincome. The rest are split between $125,000 annual income and those earning less than $35,000.

“And as King County has grown less equal, the racial and geographic distribution of poverty has grown less equal as well,” he said.

Despite King County’s 80,000 added jobs over the past two years, a low 4.5 percent unemployment rate and a median household income of $69,000, Constantine spoke of the “accelerating crisis of income inequality that threatens to undermine our economic future by undermining our

innovation, then we must give all of our children — regardless of circumstance — the education and the opportunity to bring their own unique talents to bear to solve the enormous problems that lie ahead: Ending hunger. Curing disease. Confronting climate change,” he said.

However, creating alternatives to juvenile detention by cutting the number of children detained from 205 to 45, Constantine notes the racial disparity in juvenile detention has grown.

African-American youth account for half of the population in the juvenile system, despite representing only 8 percent of youth in all of King County.

With help from the superior court, the prosecutor’s office, public defender, sheriff and King County Council, Constantine reduced the number of detention beds in a new facility being built to create more space for “the primary mission of reconciliation and redemption.”

In order to continue the mission of ending racial disparity in juvenile detention, preventing homelessness, treating mental illness instead of criminalizing it, and partnering with schools, the executive will create a committee that will gather leaders in 19 local school districts and police agencies from 39 Washington cities.

Bryce Kasota had to duck out early from King County Executive Dow Constantine’s state of the county address on Monday.

It was to take an exam at Seattle Central College so she could continue her streak of a 3.9 GPA and earn her associate degree in nursing.

But Kasota wasn’t always in the position to succeed.

“As a single mother before she finished high school, Bryce faced an uncertain future,” Constantine told a room full of nearly 200 people at the Federal Way Community Center. “She credits a Public Health employee from the Nurse-Family Partnership with helping her escape an abusive relationship,

more than 80 percent of the growth in poverty has come in the suburbs outside of Seattle. Throughout the county, formerly middleincome neighborhoods are becoming either richer or poorer.”

What was once a distribution of 90 percent of American’s enjoying 70 percent of all income growth in the 1950-1970s, is now the top 1 percent of Americans receiving 175 percent of all income growth from 20092012, he said.

“This mocks the fundamental principle on which we were all raised: That if we work hard, we can all succeed,” Constantine said.

“It’s unfair. It is un-American. And it is economically unsustainable.”

A diverse workforce brings innovation and economic success because as more people approach a problem with different perspectives, the faster and more efficiently that problem is solved, he said.

“If we want to prosper in an economy fueled by

and helping her become the supportive mother her daughter needs.”

Constantine said it’s early actions such as this that sets the tone for lifelong success.

Which is why Constantine, along with the King County Council, is proposing a six-year levy called Best Starts for Kids, to be on this November’s general election ballot.

Best Starts for Kids will raise $58 million in the first year, if passed, and will cost the average homeowner in King County “about a dollar a week.”

The levy lid increase of 14 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value adds about $56 a year in taxes.

Prince to run again FAA picks Des Moines for new offices

BY BRIAN BECKLEY

shunter@kentreporter.com

Council President Ed Prince this week announced his intention to run for a second term on the Renton City Council.

“I love this job,” he said. “We’ve done a lot and we still have more to do.”

Prince said he is proud of the work the council has done on the Sunset Redevelopment Plan, the Meadow Crest Accessible Playground and the transition form the former jail at City Hall into the Center of Hope shelter, as well as continued work on equity and social justice issues.

“I really feel like we are a leader among cities in the region on social equity and Ed Prince respect,” he said, adding “But there’s still work to do.”

Among the things he said that still needed to be completed is the Benson Neighborhood Plan, which is still being worked on. Prince lives in the Benson neighborhood and said it is an issue close to his heart.

“I want to continue to be part of the community, part of that work,” he said.

Prince, 40, is married with two children, ages 5 and 1.

He has lived in Renton 10 years and currently works as the executive director of the Washington State Commission on African American Affairs, a role to which he was appointed

by Gov. Christine Gregoire and re-appointed by Jay Inslee.

Prince currently serves as the council president and runs the Committee of the Whole meetings. During his previous years on council, he has served as chair of the Planning and Development Committee and the Utilities Committee and served on the Community Service and Finance Committees.

Prince is completing his first term on the council and will be one of five councilmembers up for election this fall. Don Persson and Ruth Perez have also announced their campaigns and Marcie Palmer has indicated she too will run for re-election. Greg Taylor’s term is also up this year.

Candidate filing week is May 11-15.

The city of Des Moines beat out Renton, Kent, SeaTac and other cities for the new Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Northwest Mountain Region offices.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) on Wednesday issued a notice of intent to award a lease to the Des Moines Creek Business Park Phase II c/o Panattoni Development Co., Inc., for a new facility at the corner of South 216th Street and 24th Avenue South, according to a GSA media release from Sally Mayberry, GSA regional public affairs officer.

GSA initially announced a March 30 date for a decision to pick a site for a 300,000-square-foot facility to handle about 1,600 employees. Kent wanted the regional office facility to be built where the city-owned Riverbend Golf Complex’s par 3 course now sits.

The FAA currently occupies about 360,000-squarefeet in several different leased locations in Renton.

Renton city officials put in a bid to keep the FAA in town. The new offices are scheduled to open in August 2017.

“The intended awardee met the requirements of the request for lease proposals and providing the best overall value to the taxpayers,” according to the GSA. “GSA

“We were looking for opportunities to engage students in developing good, lifelong voting habits.“ Renee LeBeau, government relations manager for King County Elections

Lawmakers up for a raise, teachers still looking State lawmakers are up for a raise in the next two years.

And it looks like it will be a lot larger than what they’re considering giving thousands of state workers and public school teachers.

On May 13, the Washington Citizens’ Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials is set to vote to give lawmakers an 11 percent raise. That would be more than double the percentage increase that those same legislators are considering for state workers and teachers.

Teachers know this and are incensed about it.

Some have written the commission urging it to be less generous.

And they made their feelings clear when Gov. Jay Inslee spoke at Saturday’s rally of 5,000 educators and supporters on the steps of the state Capitol.

Inslee acknowledged that it has been six years since the state provided a cost-of-living adjustment for teachers. When he pledged to fight to secure a “real COLA” of 4.8 percent in the next budget, he was briefly drowned out by a chant of “12 percent, 12 percent” – a slightly off reference to the pending double-digit pay hike for lawmakers. (Inslee, by the way, stands to get a 4 percent raise) To be fair lawmakers aren’t involved in the process of setting their own pay. That’s the role of the commission, an independent panel expected to operate free of political encumbrances.

Its members aren’t supposed to be swayed by the salary woes faced by teachers. Nor are they to be affected by knowing the 147 men and women in the Legislature have been held in contempt by the state Supreme Court for violating constitutional dictates for school funding.

Commissioners derived their recommendations from a consultant’s analysis using something called the Willis System that tries to put a value to various duties associated with a particular job. In this instance the consultant calibrated lawmakers’ responsibilities and earnings against those of nonunion state administrators and their wages and concluded lawmakers are underpaid.

Their last raise came in 2008. Commissioners in January proposed an 8 percent increase starting Sept. 1 and another 3 percent on Sept. 1, 2016.

This would push pay for 143 lawmakers from $42,106 to $46,839.

Leaders of the four caucuses have higher salaries. The Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader would make $55,738 while the House and Senate minority leaders would earn $51,288.

Lawmakers aren’t the only ones in line for higher salaries. Commissioners are suggesting 4 percent increases for the governor, eight other statewide elected office-holders and every judge from district court up to the Supreme Court. For some jobs, the panel Jerry Cornfield

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A call to action for Renton Fire and Emergency services

Redefining marriage dilutes traditional values

The system is broken; Renton Fire and Emergency Service (RF&ES) and King County Fire District 25 (KCFD 25) need our help so they can continue with their excellent service that they have given in the past and still deliver to us.

There has been talk about combining RF&ES and KCFD 25 to make a Regional Fire Authority (RFA). This will take a gathering of a committee of Renton citizens for discussion and questions (completed) than go to the Renton Planning Committee followed by the Renton City Council for the city of Renton.

I believe the discussions and decisions will go before the KCFD 25 commissioners. If the decision is made to move forward with the RFA, than it will go to the voters of the affected areas for their final decision. That brings me to my question: Is a RFA the only way path to follow for needed improvements for fire and emergency services or is there another way that would be as good or better for both fire and emergency service(s) and the residents of the served areas?

NOW is the time to ask your City Council members or Fire Commissioners for answers: Is a RFA the best or only route to take to improve our safety?

It very well maybe the best but we won’t know till the questions are asked and answered.

In a few weeks, the Supreme Court is going to hear arguments for and against redefining marriage in America. Though marriage between a man and a woman has existed since the beginning, the time-honored institution is under fire.

For nearly 20 years, the debate has raged.

Before federal judges began to overturn marriage laws, 30 states had protected natural marriage. Now the Supreme Court is poised to decide for us all. Honestly, I don’t believe they have a right to do so.

Marriage is too important an institution to be left in the hands of judges. Marriage between a man and a woman is the basic unit of society.

Statistics show that when a man and woman make a marriage commitment, it increases their economic productivity, financial success, personal health, and happiness.

Since marriage also produces children, it is of great importance to the continuation and stability of society. Academic studies show over and over that kids raised by their married mom and dad are most likely to be successful.

Bottom line: Redefining marriage dilutes what has worked since the beginning and ignores the fundamental needs of children. Every child needs a mom and a dad. So government should seek to reinforce natural marriage, not redefine it.

wants to add in a little more, such as an extra 8 percent for the state treasurer and 3.5 percent for the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Under the proposal, Inslee would make $173,617 in 2016, up from $166,891 today, and Chief Justice Barbara Madsen’s earnings would climb from $172,531 to $185,661.

None of these raises are set in stone.

On May 13, commissioners will hold a final public hearing before adopting a new wage chart for the legislative, executive and judicial branches.

It must be filed with the Secretary of State by June 1 and the new salaries would go up Sept. 1.

But they can be blocked by referendum. One would need to collect and turn in at least 123,186 valid signatures of registered voters before Sept. 1.

If successful, the issue could be on the ballot this fall.

Old favorites done in unique ways at Vino Carolyn Ossorio

Hot From the Oven

My husband was out of town, which meant I had been flying solo all week with the kids.

It was almost nine on a Saturday evening, the live acoustic guitar wizardry of Danny Godinez, was well underway as I burst through the front door and rushed toward a stool at the varnished, U-shaped bar like Marshawn Lynch going Beast Mode into the end zone.

Vino at the Landing.

Touchdown.

You don’t have to be a wine connoisseur to navigate the menu at Vino’s. The staff is user-friendly: knowledgeable without pretension that frees you to ask what might appear to be obvious questions.

I began with deliciously chilled Char-

donnay while munching on a shrimp salad where the salty bay shrimp contrasted with earthy avocado, acid from diced tomatoes, sweet and spicy balsamic vinegar and crisp squares of cucumbers on a bed of lettuce.

All of these flavors I’ve had before, but different.

After a challenging week, it was heavenly to just sit back listen to the melodic plucking and strumming of an acoustic guitar, melodically reminding me of the rising and falling of the ocean waves.

The wine bar was busy, but in a good way: enough seating for all and perfect lighting, dim without being too dark, I watched the bartender fill up what is called a “Flight,” a wiry contraption contorted into a tree shape that holds three glasses of wine filled with just enough vino for a few sips of a few well-paired varieties.

Local art lined burgundy walls with beige

accents.

A billowy, playful overfilled bowl of freshly hot popped corn lightly glistening with Truffle infused olive oil was delivered to a guest on a tray by a smiling server.

“You can read all the management books, but the key is hiring and maintaining good people. It’s my job to make them happy,” explained Owner Rick McMaster, a former Intel Engineer turned restaurateur. “Key people have stayed here for a long time.”

Executive Chef Eli Edmundson is surely a testament to McMaster’s philosophy.

Chef Eli has worked at Vino for five years, arriving just six months after it opened. Originally from Florida, Chef Eli began his career teaching art classes by day and cooking in restaurants at night.

Today, he has amassed 21 years of cooking experience in a variety of cuisines: Mediterranean, sushi, French, and Mexican.

“I enjoy the wine bar atmosphere, because I’m not stuck with one cuisine,” he said.

For Chef Eli it’s all about keeping it simple and balanced, which, quite frankly, is the hardest thing to do in life and in food.

“People have a disdain for truffle oil because it’s overused, but on the popcorn it really shines because popcorn is a blank canvas,” Chef Eli explained.

According to Chef Eli its popularity is based on the fact that each kernel has to have the right amount of oil and the right amount of salt to enhance the flavor.

When he started, Chef Eli shared space with the dishwasher but his space expanded across the hall where an office was converted into a small but rocking kitchen.

So what began as primarily appetizers is now a fully developed menu.

“We have so many regulars who like the classics with a spin, but are also interested in trying new things as long as they’re well prepared,” he said.

“I love this combination of colors; The red, yellow, green work really well together.

They remind me of home,” Chef Eli said,

referring to the mis en place for the Mahi Mahi corn and flour tortilla’s we were composing.

He slipped the still sizzling Mahi Mahi, dusted with paprika, onto a lightly oiled and toasted corn and flour tortilla, dressed with a house-made chipotle mayonnaise that was spicy but not bossy. The freshly grilled Mahi Mahi was then topped with shredded cabbage, oven-roasted pineapple and red peppers: a technique that brings out the sugar from the pineapples and caramelizes the fruit.

It’s finished with whole pieces of cilantro meticulously plucked one-by-one from the stock.

And though I’ve never been to Florida, I felt in that moment I was experiencing a bite of it in Renton.

I glanced over at the person sitting next to me at the bar as a plate of Ratatouille with quinoa was delivered from Chef Eli’s kitchen, another stunning rendition of balanced flavors with a meticulous attention to detail.

“Ahhh,” I said, as the music wandered from an original riff to the familiar and unexpectedly delightful chord arrangement [ more VINO page 11 ]

City announces 2015 neighborhood grants

Emergency Radio levy gets voter approval in special election

The Renton City Council has selected its neighborhood grants’ projects for 2015 that will add new community playgrounds, vegetation, neighborhood signage and irrigation to several Renton neighborhoods.

The South Renton Neighborhood Association plans to plant trees in celebration of Arbor Day and will get $3,369 to do so.

The Starwood Homeowners Association will receive $19,888 to install a playground in the neighborhood common area. Signage at the entrance of the Sorrento Homeowners Association neighborhood entrance will be installed with a grant for $4,111.

Victoria Park Homeowners Association will also get a new playground in the children’s park, with a grant for $13,560.

And, LaCrosse Homeowners Association will receive $4,326 to install irrigation into the neighborhood community garden and add a blueberry patch and grape arbor.

For more information, visit www.rentonwa.gov.

Voters approved the addition of a new emergency radio network as part of the South King Fire and Rescue Proposition No. 1, which got 57 percent of the vote in the April 28 special election.

About 42 percent, or 6,517 voters, rejected the measure.

Passage means about 630 new radios for Renton’s first responders and more reliable communications. Voters approved the property tax increase of 7 cents per $1,000 of assessed value it will take to support the new network, which is estimated to cost $240 million. It works out to be about $2 a month for an averaged-priced home in King County.

The radios are used by emergency personnel and other government agencies, such as schools and public works, and the communications systems used in the dispatch centers, including the regional dispatch center, Valley Communications in Kent.

often tend to encourage drivers to go faster from stop-to-stop.

“The options we’re looking at are more educational in nature,” he said.

Among the possibilities are additional radar signs to inform drivers how fast they are traveling, as well as re-striping and relining the intersection at Lake Washington Boulevard and Burnett Avenue.

Jacobson said the shape of that intersection - more of a “Y” than a “T” - belies the fact that while Lake Washington is a collector street, Burnett is more residential

the state in the Measurements of Student Progress or MSP tests, Rieger said.

With another grant of $20,000 from First Financial Northwest Foundation and Friends of Renton Schools, all district elementary schools will have robotics programs this spring and summer.

In Renton high schools, Rieger reported that there has been significant growth in math, biology and writing. For example, the percentage of students meeting the standard in 10th grade algebra has jumped from 55 percent in 2011 to 83 percent in 2014. Also according to the superintendent, the district now exceeds the state in students meeting the standard in biology.

Last year, Friends of Renton Schools was able to give the district $190,000 for after school STEM programs and summer science camps. The organization is a special fund under the Renton Community Foundation.

“I thought the breakfast went great,” said Pam Teal, chair of Friends of Renton Schools. “I liked all of the messaging; I thought our student speakers were outstanding. Our funding transition, I think, is getting a lot of traction, so I’m happy.”

mitigation measures to help slow traffic, especially near routes used by kids to walk to Kennydale Elementary School.

Jacobson said the city is planning to discuss mitigation at the Transportation Committee meeting in the second week of May, but has already ruled out several measures, due to topography and policy.

Speed humps, for example, have already been taken off the table, as has road narrowing, re-striping to narrow the lanes and additional stop signs, which Jacobson said

district have been learning with a snapshot of some of the gains the district has made in reading, math and STEM related programs. Last year, Friends of Renton Schools switched their focus to raise funds to support STEM programs in the district because of the growing need for workers with those expertise.

From elementary students learning STEM concepts with LEGOs® and worms to high schoolers winning robotics competitions, the district reported gains in these areas thanks in part to the added support of Friends of Renton Schools.

“Without your generosity we couldn’t go that extra mile,” said Superintendent Merri Rieger.

The growth in reading at the elementary level has more than doubled the state rate, she said, and there has been significant growth in science at the elementary and middle school levels. For example, fifth graders in the district went from 29 percent meeting the standard in 2010 to 66 percent meeting the standard in 2014.

There has been significant growth in math and all elementary grades now exceed

and often has more children playing.

Jacobson said the city is looking to use traffic “turtles,” striping and delineators to create a more 90-degree turn to encourage drivers to slow down, like the one at Edmonds Avenue and 16th Street.

Jacobson also said the city’s radar information has been passed along to the police department, who will make adjustments to their patrol routes.

Jacobson said the plan is to discuss the options at the committee level in May and then share the plans with residents in June to get feedback with the hope of implementing them this summer.
