Salmon Bay Elementary School in Seattle, WA ( USA ) has run several wisdom councils . According to one of the people involved, Salmon Bay School also used online tools to engage the adult community in their wisdom council process. Beyond a face-to-face community meeting, parents were all part of a Yahoo! Group where wisdom council statements were posted and a sharing of the experience were provided by one of the participants. Then parents were invited to share their own thoughts and responses. They made a video of each wisdom council presentation, which was made accessible to all in the school library. Then, the parent e-newsletter invited people to watch the video or go to the Yahoo! Group to download the statement and comment.
