Public forums re potential change to 2016-17 school calendar

The community is invited to join join Shoreline Public Schools in learning about and providing input regarding a potential change to the 2016-17 school calendar being considered to support the professional development needs of our staff.

The District will consider adopting early release days in lieu of no school days to provide time for professional development. The meetings (listed below) will be identical in format and participants will be invited to ask questions and share feedback at each meeting. You are welcome to choose a date/time that best fits your schedule, regardless of your affiliation with any particular school.

A Frequently Asked Questions document pertaining to this topic will be provided on the District’s website and the same survey completed at the meetings will be available online along with a video recording of one of the meetings. Responses from all surveys will be included in the overall review of input prior to the development of a final recommendation that will be sent to the Board of Directors for consideration.

More information is available by calling Deputy Superintendent Marla Miller at 206-393-4366 or via email.
