About the Coalition

The Seattle Student Options Coalition seeks to secure and expand school options for all students in Seattle Public Schools. The group is composed of local families with students enrolled in SPS, and aspires to build a parent and educator community that advocates for the maintenance and expansion of option schools and alternative programs in Seattle Public Schools.

Short term goals

• Keep option schools and programs operational in SPS

• Monitor and expand enrollment for the 2025-2026 school year

Long term goals

• Build a community coalition representing every option school and alternative program in SPS

• Build a database of information about our schools’ programs and the benefits of providing diverse educational pedagogies and structures so that it is easy for families to find this information in one place 

• Support long term planning in SPS for providing a diverse set of program and school options to maintain and expand enrollment in public schools
