EVERETT — A crowd of a few dozen parents, teachers, and program alumni gathered outside Everett Community College’s (EvCC) Early Learning Center (ELC) on Wednesday afternoon to thank teachers and voice concerns over its closure set for June 30. Although the college knew it planned to close the center as early as March, it waited until early May to act on it, giving teachers and parents only 50 days’ notice. On June 25, a Snohomish County judge ruled in favor of a lawsuit against the college’s Board of Trustees and college administrators over how the closure was handled. The decision temporarily blocked closing the ELC, requiring the board holds a public meeting. Shortly after this ruling, the board scheduled a special meeting at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow, June 26, in the Henry M. Jackson Conference Center (Jackson 101) to allow for public comments before taking a vote.
