CURRENT NEWS:

Budget Crisis

Shoreline Schools has a budget crisis.
The school district is working on a plan to cut 18-19 million dollars from the budget for next year. This is a huge amount and will have drastic impacts to our schools and our children’s education. We urge our community to get informed and involved around this issue. Here are some ways you can do that:

  1. Get informed about the budget situation that the Shoreline School District is facing - read "2023-24 School District Budget Outlook and watch the video of the December 13th Board meeting. 
  2. Get informed about the district’s Budget Advisory Team, a group comprised of staff, students, parents and community members, who have been asked to provide recommendations for cuts to the School Board. Background, past presentations, and additional resources can be found on the BAT webpage. 
  3. ​​Watch upcoming Board meetings and submit public comment via the online form (it is updated weekly - find it on this page) or verbally in person and on zoom. Meeting agendas and zoom links are posted on the board webpage and they are sent out in the district’s Friday update. 
  4. Attend one of the upcoming community forums that the district is hosting. 
    1. ​Tuesday, January 31, 7-8:00 pm, at Einstein Middle School Commons
    2. Wednesday, February 1, 5-6:00 pm, at Kellogg Middle School Commons
    3. Friday, February 10, 12:30-1:30 pm, on Zoom: https://ssd412-org.zoom.us/j/84030688699?pwd=RGlvWGc3TU5TV3BjdWN
    4. Wednesday, February 15, 6-7:00 pm, in the Shoreline Room, Shoreline Center (north end of the building)
  5. ​​Send your questions, concerns and suggestions to the BAT (budget.advteam@ssd412.org) and/or the School Board (school.board@ssd412.org).

Mental Health Committee has started

We recently created a Mental Health Committee to provide mental health information, resources and education for our families with the goal to destigmatize mental health in our school district. Updates about this committee's work can be found here.
