Levy
Volunteers for Issaquah Schools will be very active this year beginning a campaign for our School Levy which will be expiring soon. We will vote on the Levy on FEB. 11th. This levy will cover three items:
Maintenance: Maintenance supports the investment the community put into the 2012 Bond. Have you loved seeing the construction happening? Is your kid excited about a new school or improvements?
Technology: Technology is not covered by State funds. Its up to our community to make sure our kids and teachers have the tools they need in a technology based world. The technology piece will also enhance security for our schools.
Transportation: This part of the levy package will ensure that our transportation is in line with state standards.
For more information, please visit the District Website which has more detailed explainations, and gives information on the tax breakdown.

Legislative Assembly
PTA Legislative Assembly is on Oct 18th - 19th. Please attend PTA general meeting on Sept. 23rd at 7pm for a presentation of what we are looking at this year for Washington State PTA legislative platform.
I will be attending Legislative Assembly with Heather Berry your co-president, at IVE and I'm hoping to have ONE MORE volunteer to attend with me at Seattle Marriott (expenses paid) for the two days we will be in Seattle.
Please take the Legislative Survey, especially if you will not be at the first general meeting, so your VOICE IS HEARD! Our kids depend on us to speak up for them!
Here is a link to the PTA advocacy center, click on the "Take the Survey" link. I will get the results of this survey, and will represent IVE PTA at Legislative Assembly.
