Rebellion is nigh in Matilda Jr., a gleefully witty ode to the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the "revolting children" who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson. 
Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however - the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. 
But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda Jr. is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

Shoreline School District leaders advocate in Olympia for school funding

Friday, March 17, 2023

Student representatives to the school board Helen Murphy, Lily Fredericks, and Luke Smith

Shoreline School District leaders recently traveled to Olympia to advocate for lawmakers to increase support for schools. Board members Sara Betnel, Meghan Jernigan, and Sarah Cohen and student board representatives Lily Fredricks, Helen Murphy, and Luke Smith, along with Superintendent Susana Reyes, participated in the annual "Day on the Hill" on February 27, 2023 organized by statewide organizations of school leaders.

"The majority of our district funding and policy requirements are set by the state legislature. Engaging directly with our representatives in Olympia around our legislative priorities and funding needs is one of the most important ways we ensure they know how the decisions they are making impact our students, staff, and community," according to Sara Betnel, who leads legislative advocacy for the district as the board’s legislative representative. 
“Day on the Hill is a great moment of collective advocacy with district and student leaders across the state that builds on the conversations we have with legislators all year long.”

Advocacy has been particularly vital this year, as Shoreline and many other districts across the state are facing a funding shortfall, as the Board shared in a letter to lawmakers sent in January. 

In Washington, the state government controls and allocates most of the revenue available to public schools, based on the funding model established in response to the 2012 “McCleary decision” that held the state responsible for funding basic education. 

In Shoreline, 59% of the budget used for teaching and other school operations comes directly from the state on a per-student basis, while 14% comes from the state for specific purposes, 5% from federal funding sources, and 16% from local levy support (capped by state law based on enrollment).

Helen Murphy, OSPI Superintendent Chris Reykdal, Luke Smith, Lily Fredericks, School Board Director Sara Betnel, Shoreline Schools Superintendent Susana Reyes

Chris Reykdal, Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction, emphasized that public school funding is a statewide emergency in a Seattle Times interview timed to coincide with the advocacy day. 

Reykdal explained that Washington school districts, especially in the Puget Sound region, face a “perfect storm” of fiscal challenges, with declining enrollment due to demographic factors and accelerated by the pandemic, rising inflation, and deficiencies in the state funding model.

Conversations with legislators focused on key areas of student need, where legislation under consideration has the greatest potential to have a positive effect on the district's budget outlook. 

One of these areas, special education funding, is particularly important because districts have a legal obligation to provide special education services, but the state's current allocation falls far short of the true cost; in Shoreline, the yearly gap is about $8 million. 

This means that the district must divert about one third of local levy funds intended for “enhancement” to meet its legal - and moral - requirement to provide basic education to students with special needs.

Front row: WA State Representative Lauren Davis (32rd), Sara Betnel;
Back row: Susana Reyes, Luke Smith, Helen Murphy, Lily Fredericks,
School Board Director Meghan Jernigan, School Board President Sarah Cohen

Speaking to the importance of special education services, student representatives from Shoreline provided first hand testimony to lawmakers about the impact of funding on students’ lives.

“School funding is integral to ensure every student has access to the essential tools and mentors that will illuminate their pathways to success,” shares Lily Fredericks, Shorecrest High School junior and student representative to the school board. 
“These students will go on to become the many doctors, artists, and political leaders that stand as the pillars of our community and larger world. Funding education is not a privilege: it's an investment in humanity, an inviolable civil right—the very Paramount Duty of our state. The responsibility falls on our legislators to regard it as such.”

Student voice was a key component of the advocacy, as seen in a segment on KING5 News. Student representatives from Shoreline met with Governor Jay Inslee, Lieutenant Governor Denny Heck, Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal, and Secretary of State Steve Hobbs, as well as lawmakers from local districts.

“As we work diligently within our own school system to rebalance the budget for long-term financial sustainability, it is also important that we stay engaged with Washington State legislators to help them understand the difficult budget realities that Shoreline and other school districts are currently facing, and how their decisions impact the daily lives of students, staff, and families across the state,” says Superintendent Reyes.

Budget information can be found from the news section of www.shorelineschools.org and directly on the Budget Information page.

The National Association for Music Education (NAfME) is nearing its bi-annual conference this month in Bellevue.

The competitive selection process begins with individual musicians recording an audition and submitting it to WMEA. A panel of judges then ranks each instrument or voice part. From this ranking, a select group of musicians is selected. 

The highest-ranking musicians qualify to perform in the All-Northwest and All-State music groups. These students participate in three days of rehearsals that are directed by nationally recognized conductors during the bi-annual NAfME All-Northwest Music Educator Convention in Bellevue, February 16-19, 2023. 

Their performances in front of thousands of attendees bring this extraordinary event to a close.

Shoreline Public Schools surveying families about priorities as they look to cut $19 million from 2023-24 budget

Friday, February 17, 2023

Shoreline Schools
[Ed. note: apologies for getting this out late. The survey must be completed by Friday, February 17, 2023]

Link to the survey (scroll down) Community members are welcome to participate.

Shoreline School District is expecting a budget shortfall of about $18-$19 million for the 2023-24 school year. More information about the budget outlook can be found here.
 
We are seeking your feedback about priorities to help guide planning for reductions to balance our budget. These priorities will also help us to make decisions about services to maintain when possible. Finally, your feedback will be helpful as our budget picture improves in the coming years and we make decisions about what to restore and when. We will share a summary of the survey results with our community in March.

As we consider our priorities, we keep our values of equity, safety, student growth, and student learning at the forefront when making decisions. We also believe in our individual and collective ability to create a system where a student's identity and ability are not predictors of success.

Shoreline School District to hold community meetings about budget shortfall

Tuesday, January 31, 2023

School district headquarters at the Shoreline Center

Shoreline School District is engaged in proactive budget planning work in light of declining revenues and decreased enrollment in recent years.

Since a high point in 2019-20, the district student enrollment has decreased by more than 400 students due to COVID and other factors. The state allocates money based on enrollment.

Declining enrollment is generally anticipated in our near future, due to declining birth rates in King County and limited housing affordability. School districts both nearby and across the country have seen similar enrollment declines.

Along with a decline in enrollment, the District has experienced declining regionalization revenue (for areas that are expensive to live in) from the State at a time when costs have increased. Ultimately, like our families, with declining resources we must right-size our budget to live within our means.

A series of community information sessions will be held to bring awareness across the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park communities to the budget challenges the school district is facing. 

Interested residents, staff, families, and students may attend any session that works for their schedule. The first session was held on Tuesday, January 31, 2023 at Einstein Middle School.

Three more are planned in February.

Wednesday, February 1, 5-6:00 pm
Kellogg Middle School Commons
16045 25th Ave NE, Shoreline WA 98155

Friday, February 10, 12:30-1:30 pm via Zoom
Register in advance for this webinar:
https://ssd412-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IGU9pvbDRw2WAJ5BGyDVUQ
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Wednesday, February 15, 6-7:00 pm
Shoreline Room, Shoreline Center (north end of the building)
18560 1st Ave. NE, Shoreline, WA 98155

Superintendent Susana Reyes will share information about the financial situation of the district, the contributing factors, and our need to rebalance revenue and expenditures for the 2023-24 school year and beyond. Please join us. Your thoughts and questions are welcome.

If you would like to request an interpreter at one of our information sessions, please email kathie.schindler@ssd412.org no later than Friday, January 27.
