YOUR ACTION NEEDED: Ask State Officials to Prioritize Funding for Education

1/9/2025 11:59 am

Ask State Officials to Prioritize Funding for Education
 
This school year, Mercer Island School District (MISD) will be underfunded by the state by $7M. In addition, the state has capped the amount that MISD can raise through local levies. This is THE reason that parents are getting requests for donations from PTAs, booster clubs, and our local foundations, all of whom are working hard to fill this major funding gap so that we don't lose our counselors, our 5th grade band program, our arts and sports programs, our 7th class period at MIHS, etc. 
 
But YOU can make a difference by asking our legislators and governor to fund the full cost of basic education during THIS legislative session. Please consider signing this letter today: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/request-to-prioritize-school-funding

Town Hall on School Funding Crisis

1/4/2025 7:15 pm

Students, families, teachers and the Eastside community are encouraged to attend a Town Hall on the School Funding Crisis! We need our community to show up to push legislators for a fully-funded education system. The state of Washington continues to fall short of its paramount, constitutional duty to fully fund basic K-12 education and our schools are facing a serious budget crisis.

 

Join a unified voice of PTAs, school district leaders, and educators from Bellevue, Mercer Island, Lake Washington, Issaquah and Renton on Wednesday, January 8th, 2025 at Sammamish High School in Bellevue from 7:00-8:30 pm. 

 

 

Your voice is essential as we seize this historic opportunity to transform education in Washington state. We need YOU and we need your VOICE!
