2017 Construction Bond Details:
Recommendations were developed by a Shoreline School District Facilities Committee that consisted of administrators, teachers, parents, and specialists. Over several weeks this spring, the group examined enrollment trends, data on the condition of all school buildings, instructional needs, and school financing. Recent growth in Shoreline has nearly filled elementary schools to capacity, and, with growth expected to continue, the District must accommodate a larger student population. When taking into account a medium enrollment growth trajectory, the Shoreline School District estimates that it would be 11 classrooms short in 2016-2017 and 30 classrooms short in 2017-2018 if it were to try to implement the State’s K-3 class size reductions.

Campaign Do's and Dont's
February 14, 2017 is the bond election! The campaign (VOTE Yes for Shoreline Schools) is regulated by the Public Disclosure Commission Guidelines for School Districts in Election Campaigns (1.877.601.2828/www.pdc.gov). There are some things that staff and parents at school are allowed to do and some that cannot be done at school. If in doubt, please ask your principal or call Curtis Campbell (206.393.4412), so we do not get in trouble with the PDC. Violations can cause major headaches – and stiff fines – for the school, district and community.
YOU CAN:

YOU CAN:
- Wear a Vote Yes for Shoreline Schools button at school. Please wear it frequently so that it is considered “normal and customary” for you to be wearing the button at school. Remember you can also wear a button throughout the community as well!
- Offer brief answers to parent questions, such as the bond will mean building improvements in our schools.
- Put a yard sign in your yard!
- Participate in teacher postcards by attending the SEA bond postcard signing party in your building. This is a personal touch that is noticed and appreciated.
- Make “Get Out the Vote” phone calls. Your building team (each school has a team of PTA, SEA, principal and/or other community volunteers working to coordinate activities at your school) will let you know when they have been scheduled.
- Participate in Rah-Rah events during the weeks before the election. Your building team will let you know when Rah-Rah opportunities are available.
- Email campaign information and voting reminders from your home email address.
- Personally endorse the bond and make a donation. Funds are needed to pay for mailings, yard signs, buttons, and other efforts to get out the vote.
- Use work hours or public resources (computers, papers, phones, etc.) to promote the bond.
- Pressure or coerce other employees to participate in campaign activities.
- Use district resources to organize or distribute campaign materials.
- Use the school’s internal or external mail or email to communicate campaign-related information, including endorsements.
- Distribute promotional materials in the classroom or other public areas.
