Allycea Weil - D5 Seattle School Board Candidate
Season 1 Episode 47
In this episode of Rainy Day Recess, hosts Christie Robertson and Cherylynne Crowther interview Allycea Weil, a candidate for the District 5 seat on the Seattle School Board. Allycea brings a perspective as a gig worker and single parent who moved to Seattle specifically for the public schools. Key topics include her call for a financial audit of the district's billion-dollar budget, her proposal to redistribute PTA/PTO funds for equity across schools, and her emphasis on being present in school communities rather than relying on formal policy expertise. She advocates for site-based decision-making while calling out obstructionists in central office, and discusses her experience organizing community events and working as a library assistant at Ingraham High School. Listeners are encouraged to check out interviews with other District 5 candidates and stay informed for the upcoming elections.
