School’s out for summer

The Page 1 centerpiece story/photo package will be about today being the last day of the year for Spokane Public Schools.

At the top of Page 1 will be a story about the rosy Washington state revenue forecast. See an early version of that AP story out of Olympia.

Also scheduled to be “above-the-fold” on Page 1 will be a story about the city’s commission investigating Mayor West.

A bizarre story about a serial child molester also will be on Page 1. He’s thought to have molested thousands of kids in western states, including Washington, Idaho, Oregon and California. (Small-world note — the author of this Associated Press story from San Jose, Calif., Rachel Konrad, used to be a reporter here.)

And there will be a story rounding up the developments in Iraq, including the deaths of six U.S. troops .
