SAVE THE DATE for Jan 8! - School Funding Crisis Town Hall

Our MISD PTA Council is very excited to announce that they are co-hosting a multi-district Town Hall on January 8, 2025 at Sammamish High School from 7-8:30pm. Teachers, parents, administrators, students and community members from Mercer Island, Bellevue, Lake WA, Issaquah, and Renton are encouraged to attend to show our legislators that it's time for them to fully fund K-12 education. The state of WA continues to fall short of this paramount duty which has forced districts to close schools, increase class sizes, cut programs, fall short of serving children who need any kind of special education, and more!
