Good morning. I'm Zaki Hamid. It's Monday, and this is Seattle now. Dr. Quintar Taylor was a legendary

scholar of Black History in Seattle

and the American West. He passed away last month at 76 years old. We'll hear about him and his

impact from a mentee and a friend in a minute. But first, let's get you caught up. Beginning today, Seattle Public Schools is moving ahead with its plan, for the most part, to have two lunch periods for high school students.

Students had protested the idea, saying that the change would limit their ability to participate in school clubs that meet during lunch.

SPS says the change is needed to reduce wait times for food and comply with state laws that regulate

instruction time. District officials say schools will be able to have a single lunch period

once a week on Wednesday as a compromise. SPS also promised to set up a task force to improve the student experience.

Seattle is seeing a big spike in residents reporting unauthorized encampments to the city's

says, more reports means more residents know how to use the city's app. But the Times spoke with

people living outside and outreach workers who say the increase could actually be due to the city's approach by repeatedly clearing and scattering encampments.

And if you want to weigh in on how the City of Seattle spends your tax dollars, you've got two chances tomorrow.
