2010 School District Bond and Levy Ballot Measures

Dear Shoreline Staff and Community,

The Shoreline School District has recently reached an important milestone. At the November 2 School Board meeting the financial books were closed for the 2008-09 school year. As expected, the numbers presented to the School Board substantiated the fact that the Shoreline School District is officially “whole” financially. The unreserved ending fund balance is completely restored at five percent.

With this achievement, the District has fulfilled its three-year commitment to restore fiscal stability to our educational community. School Board, staff, parents, students and citizens all share in the accomplishment of this goal. Your efforts and sacrifices have been greatly appreciated!

Now our collective focus can turn to “building a brighter future” for our students and continuing the tradition of excellence in the Shoreline Schools.

To this end, on November 2 the District proposed three ballot measures for the February 9, 2010 special election. The specific resolutions are currently under development and will be voted on by the School Board on November 16.

The measures will include:

• Replacement Levy for Educational Programs, Maintenance and Operations (M & O)
• Bond for Modernization and/or Replacement of Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools
• Capital Levy for Technology Support

It is anticipated that the cost to our average taxpayer of the three combined ballot measures will remain at the current 2010 levels in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.

We encourage you to learn more about the proposed 2010 bond and levy ballot measures by visiting the following website: 2010 Bond and Levy Ballot Measures

Sincerely,

Sue Walker
