One of the advantages of being part of a state wide organization is the ability to share information and products from other Regions and Councils.

Shoreline PTA Council, in partnership with PTA's across the district, is conduction a poll this November to find out what key issues are of the greatest importance to Shoreline School District Parents.
The poll is available online in the parent's spoken language by going to the link and clicking on the translation button. The goal is to hear from at least 30% of District parents. Your local PTA may ask for your opinion in other ways. No matter how - Please take a moment and tell us which two issues impact your family the most. To participate in the poll go to: http://www.shorelinepta.org/advocacy-poll.html. Please encourage every parent you know to participate. Post this to your FB page, send out an email. How awesome would it be if we had 50% of our parents participate? That is powerful information I can share with our School Board & Legislators! Thank you!

The Shoreline PTA Council which is comprised of representation from the 16 PTA's within the Shoreline School District voted unanimously at the October 28th meeting to endorse the replacement Educational Programming Operations and Maintenance Levy and the Capital Levy for Technology and Support on the February 2014 ballot.
Sarah-Ann Woodfield, Council Vice President of Advocacy stated: "The Shoreline Model is a reality because of Levy funds. These funds provide about 25% of the revenue for the District. State and Federal funding only provide 65% of the District budget. We endorse the upcoming levies while continuing to demand that the Legislature fully fund basic education by 2018." When: Nov. 3, 2013 Where: Shoreline Room, Shoreline Center Time: 3-6 pm 70 Volunteers are needed to give the calls a "personal connection" that donors and parents need. RSVP to Charlene Carlson 206-393-4107 or email: [email protected]. See letter below for more details. ![]()
