	The Seattle Times: Education: Seattle School District to fight for racial tiebreaking
		The school district suspended its use of the racial tiebreaker in the 2002-03 school year until the courts could resolve its legality.
		In high schools where demand exceeds the number of seats and the student body is racially imbalanced, the district winnows the applicants by admitting students of the school's minority racial group before those students who live closest to the school.
		The district argues that it must explicitly factor race into student assignments in a city where de facto racial segregation in housing persists and where parents are likely to choose schools close to home.

	FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code
		Seattle School District No. 1 (District), which is largely coterminous with the city of Seattle, Wash., is charged by state law with administering 112 schools and educating approximately 54,000 public school students.
		School boards are generally directed to "develop a program identifying student learning objectives for their district[s]," 28A.58.090; see also 28A.58.092, to select instructional materials, 28A.58.103, to stock libraries as they deem necessary, 28A.58.104, and to initiate a variety of optional programs.
		Indeed, the notion of school board responsibility for local educational programs is so firmly rooted that local boards are subject to disclosure and reporting provisions specifically designed to ensure the board's "accountability" to the people of the community for "the educational programs in the school distric[t]." 28A.58.758(3).

	97 Wn.2d 215, WILLIAMS v. SEATTLE SCHOOL DISTRICT
		A school board's decision to transfer an administrator to a subordinate certificated position pursuant to RCW 28A.67.073 is not subject to judicial review by writ of certiorari under RCW 7.16.040.
		The failure of a notice to a school administrator, concerning his transfer to a subordinate certificated position, to include a precise reason for the transfer as required by RCW 28A.67.073 is not fatal to the transfer if in fact the administrator learns of the reason and is not prejudiced by the deficiency of the notice.
		The district's subsequent decision to add head teacher positions in five of the affected elementary schools is not evidence of its arbitrary or capricious action.
