Seattle Public Schools to remain open during parade, with no excused absences

Seattle will celebrate the Seahawks' Super Bowl LX victory with a trophy ceremony and parade on Wednesday. The celebration at Lumen Field begins at 10 a.m. PT, followed by a parade along 4th Avenue at 11 a.m. PT. However, Seattle Public Schools will remain open, and attendance at the parade will not be considered an excused absence, as announced by the district's chief operating officer, Fred Podesta. Podesta emphasized the importance of maintaining "stability, safety, and continuity" for students. In contrast, schools in Philadelphia and Kansas City closed for similar events in previous years. Seattle Mayor Katie B. Wilson has encouraged participation in the festivities.
