Talk:Kent School District

Kentwood HS

for some reason when you click on Kentwood High School it brings you directly back to the Kent School District page... I Don't know how to fix it so I was just bringing it up.

Fixed.

Lawsuits

This section has become huge compared the rest of the article. It should either be scaled down or ,ade into it's own article. FastFoodKnight 23:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Recommendation: Move it down the page, after the list of schools.

Neutrality of "Mark Iversen vs. Kent School District et al"

This section of the Kent School District article provides a one-sided view of the case concerning Mark Iversen and sexual harassment directed against him. Since Wikipedia is encyclopedic in nature, articles should refrain from the use of generalities in place of facts. One such example is "He was pushed into lockers with a broomstick and called 'fag' while two teachers sat by and did nothing." That the teachers "sat by and did nothing" is an interpretation of the event. It is possible that there were two teachers who actually watched the event as it transpired, and it is also possible that there were two teachers who were merely nearby during the event and did not realize that it was happening. The purpose of the section should not be to make accusations but to present facts.

NSBA Visit

The National School Board Association visited the Kent School District, should this be stated in the article?

Picture of boy with drill

I don't know if the picture of the boy is real or has been put there as a joke. I have seen this picture featured on both the wikipedia pages for 'Down's Syndrome' and 'Drill'. The fact that the caption reads 'down syndrome' and that it seems so arbitrary is why I suggested that its existence on the page be reconsidered. I see no references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.254.56.79 (talk) 19:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Tosh.0 thing?

Do you think we should add the Tosh.0 thing that happened at Kentridge, or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ALonelyWeeaboo (talk • contribs) 19:21, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Kent Mountain View Academy

As of summer 2021, Kent Mountain View Academy was demolished to make room for River Ridge Elementary School and Grandview School. Should we add this information? Also, Kent Labratory Academy succeeded both Kent Mountain View Academy and Kent Phoenix Academy (the latter of which Sequoia Middle School was temperorarily known as).

Delete this entire section from the Kent School District page:

"Washington State Labor Board vs. Kent School District In August 2005, the Washington State Labor Board filed suit against the Kent School District for violating labor laws by using special needs children as "slave labor" building IKEA furniture for school employees and their friends and family.

The case was decided in favor of the labor board and an injunction was ordered preventing the school district from having special needs children from performing any activities related to the lawsuit. It is currently pending appeal with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. [citation needed]"

Rationale: - There is no supporting information for this using google and bing search engines with many different search terms. - There is no "Washington State Labor Board". The name of the agency for labor issues is called the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. - The only IKEA in Washington state did not open until 2017. - Earlier versions of this article included details suggesting that the poster did not like Kent School District. 5NWusername (talk) 00:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

 Done Yeah, that section had been sitting unsourced in the article for over 16 years, and I too was unable to find anything online about the lawsuit. Removed. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 16:38, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Meeker Middle School Mascot

I've been to MeMS & they recently changed their Mascot to the Mambas, as seen on their website from KSD [ https://www.kent.k12.wa.us/o/mems ], it's been like this since the Beginning of this School Year in September. I believe they had a vote on this last Year.
