SEATTLE, WA (KPLU) - A new school year begins tomorrow for students in Seattle Public Schools. Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson has led the district through some major - and controversial - changes: new curriculum standards, staggered school start times, closed or merged programs. And this year Seattle begins phasing in a student assignment plan that will eventually send kids to their closest neighborhood school. KPLU education reporter Gary Davis caught up with Goodloe-Johnson, as she begins her third year. © Copyright 2012, KPLU
