The Seattle Times: Editorials & Opinion: Every school a T.T. Minor: "Every school a T.T. Minor
Much can be accomplished when citizens and educators work together, a point vividly illuminated by a recent Seattle Times Pacific magazine cover story on T.T. Minor Elementary School in Seattle.
Seven years ago, millionaire businessman Stuart Sloan adopted the Capitol Hill school, striking a deal with the Seattle School District in which he would choose and pay for programs worth about $1 million annually. The Sloan/T.T. Minor partnership has been a success. School morale is high. Academic achievement has improved. Teachers and other staffers are able to do more to help students learn because there is money to pay for the extras. And school Principal Gloria Mitchell ought to be fast-tracked for sainthood."
