Chemical spill at Shorewood HS causes brief evacuation Friday

Saturday, April 20, 2024

Shorewood High School

Shoreline Fire was dispatched for a chemical spill at Shorewood High School on Friday, April 19, 2024.

The school was evacuated while Fire checked inside with their air monitor but found no unsafe levels.

Outside, Fire crews checked on individuals for any symptoms and it was determined there were no complaints.

After it was determined that the school was safe to reopen, the school day resumed with lunch service, a final period of study hall, and dismissal approximately 15 minutes earlier than the typical release.

Recycled glass art at Echo Lake Elementary

Spring is here and flowers are blooming including the new art installation at Echo Lake Elementary at  19345 Wallingford Ave N, Shoreline, WA 98133.

This year's PTA Family Art Night used recycled bottles and materials to create this colorful new piece to decorate the fence off of 193rd that surrounds the Native Plant Garden. 

Fence near 193rd

The kids (and parents) had fun painting the outside of bottles that were later heated which created the curled petal effect. It’s always a joy to watch families and friends be creative side by side and then ohhhh and ahh over other people’s work. 

The collaborative nature helps bring the school community together and shows how while one flower might be pretty, together they are amazing.

Helmet distribution will protect kids on Shoreline’s streets thanks to one woman on a mission

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

Meridian Park PTSA volunteers help ensure bike helmets are fitted correctly

At Meridian Park Elementary on Thursday morning, a class of remarkably well behaved kindergartners lined up to get their very own free bike helmet.

Schuyler Peters worked alongside PTA volunteers to fit helmets for students at Ridgecrest Elementary. She said "As a student myself, this experience really has been unforgettable, and it has shown me a multitude of avenues one can take to make change--even when disappointed by legal decision making."

At Ridgecrest elementary on Monday, parents from the PTSA worked efficiently to make sure the helmets fit safely on the heads of the excited recipients.

The safety events were thanks to a “proud product” of Shoreline schools, Lake Forest Park resident Schuyler Peters, who is on a mission to get bike helmets onto the heads of more children.

The Shorecrest graduate and third-year law student at Seattle University, published a paper arguing that the decision of the King County Board of Health to repeal its bike helmet law “was a missed opportunity to face the broader issue of discriminatory enforcement head on.”

In her studies, she heard from medical professionals concerned that the law’s repeal could cause harm to kids who crash while riding bikes without helmets.

Drew Swanner and his team from Children's partnered with Schuyler to obtain funding, purchase a thousand helmets, train PTA volunteers and help fit helmets to children at Meridian Park and Ridgecrest. Photo by Steven H. Robinson

She decided to take action and connected with Seattle Children’s Hospital which helped get funding from Panda Express's Panda Cares program for the program.

“And this is not only a one-time event, but rather will become a staple in these schools so that when new students arrive, helmets inevitably crack, or when students outgrow them, a new helmet will be there -- free of charge,” she said.

Altogether, the program brought over one thousand helmets to students at Ridgecrest and Meridian Park who wanted them.

“Creating awareness about bike safety and providing protective gear for children while on wheels is important and impactful work. I see children riding their bikes around many of our neighborhoods, and I'm so grateful for this partnership to help keep them safe!" said Superintendent Susana Reyes.

Shoreline publishes School Walking Route maps to guide kids safely to schools while on foot but still has a long way to go before completing its bicycle plan and vision.

The Ridgecrest Safe Routes to School Project is nearing completion on 165th.

A map from the city’s Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element shows dashed lines where bike safety improvements are needed along with solid green lines for existing safe bike routes

And the city will soon begin making safety improvements along Meridian from 155th to the Meridian Park campus.

But the city is still working to secure funds to complete the 175th corridor project, which will bring bike lanes and pedestrian improvements to the busy road that runs along the north side of the Meridian Park campus.

On Monday April 15, 2024 the city will hold a public hearing on its Transportation Improvement Plan - the six-year roadmap for what transportation projects Shoreline will fund (and not fund).

Correction: The City of Shoreline, not the school district, publishes the School Walking Route Maps.

Date change for Ridgecrest 75 year celebration

Saturday, March 23, 2024

 

16516 Tenth Ave NE Shoreline, WA  98155

The reception was originally scheduled for April 10th. Like so many things in education, we are often finding ourselves in a place of learning and pivoting. After we thought we had the right date, we found out that the original date of April 10th falls on the end of Ramadan and the important day of Eid al-Fitr.   

It is important that we are being inclusive of our diverse community here in Shoreline, therefore, we made the decision to change the date to the following week, April 17th

DATE CHANGE: Ridgecrest Elementary School to celebrate its 75th Anniversary in April

Thursday, March 21, 2024

 

DATE CHANGE: The celebration will be on Wednesday APRIL 17


In the late 1940s as World War II was ending, school leaders in the north end foresaw that returning soldiers would be buying homes north of Seattle and starting families. Superintendents from six small school districts met and agreed to consolidate their districts into one - the Shoreline School District.

The first school that they built was Ridgecrest. A newspaper article quoted in Jack Rogers' book "Shore to Shore and Line to Line: A History of the Shoreline School District" said that the original school building was "recognized throughout the state as being one of the finest school building ever constructed in Washington."

The school was dedicated in 1949.

to Superintendent and School Board

Shoreline Schools is celebrating Education Support Professionals Week.

Kathie Schindler has been the constant presence in the district office as the Executive Assistant to the Superintendent and School Board through multiple administrations and school board turnovers. Warm and kind, her focus is always on the students.

"I’ve always felt that being part of an organization that’s core mission is to educate young people is a great place to be! I have been working in Shoreline for many decades now and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything.'; 
"Even though my job doesn’t include seeing our students every day, it is so rewarding knowing that what we do here in the central office is all for them. 
"Many years ago, Shoreline staff adopted a motto for the school year during our late summer opening day celebration. It was: “It’s all about kids. It’s about all kids.”  Still.So.True. 
"I’ve also been able to work with incredibly smart, talented, thoughtful, and caring staff whom I consider lifelong friends. As a district we’ve had ups, we’ve had downs but we are “still going” and it has been a great ride.  
"In honor of spring training (go Mariners), I just have to say that working in the Shoreline School District, for me, has been like hitting a grand slam with two outs in the bottom of the ninth of game seven of that ever elusive (for Seattle fans) World Series." 
Kudos to Kathie and all of Shoreline's Education Support Professionals.

Hearing Examiner wants more information on Fircrest behavioral health facility

A screen shot from the March 6 public hearing shows
Hearing Examiner Gary McLean asking for more information
from DSHS and Shoreline city staff. 
By Oliver Moffat

At a public hearing on March 6, 2024 Hearing Examiner Gary McLean told the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) to release more details about the behavioral health facility planned for the Fircrest campus. 

He told DSHS to engage with the Shoreline School District on the plan and gave DSHS more time to solicit input before he makes a final decision. 

McLean said he could issue a ruling on the overall Fircrest Master Development Plan sooner if it were separated from the behavioral health facility plan.

As previously reported, DSHS is seeking permits to move forward with redevelopment plans on the Fircrest campus.

One plan - called the Master Development Plan - outlines redevelopment changes for the overall campus including a new skilled nursing facility to replace the dangerously outdated “Y” buildings.

At the same time, DSHS is seeking a permit to build a new 48 bed behavioral health facility on the campus that would provide mental health treatment in a secure environment for civilly committed individuals.

A map from the Fircrest Master Development Plan shows the proposed location of a behavioral health facility in the northeast quadrant of the Fircrest campus.

The facility will have large spaces for activities, exercise, and life skills instruction to help transition patients back into the community. According to the plan, “these facilities would give the state a unique opportunity to improve access to behavioral health services by providing more capacity and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness by creating a more effective treatment model.”

Hearing Examiner McClean heard public comments on both permit applications at the March 6th meeting, but his concerns focused on what he considered insufficient public engagement on the behavioral health facility.

In remarks about the proposed facility, Examiner McLean issued the finding “that I don’t think a lot of people had any idea what the individuals might be…” who could be involuntarily committed at the facility. “And I dare say the school district doesn’t have a clue either,” he said.

The Shorecrest campus is adjacent to the Fircrest property.

In an emailed response to questions, a spokesperson for the Shoreline school district said, “DSHS has reached out to the school district, and we are in contact and working with them to learn more about the project and move forward together.”

According to the plan, the project will be licensed as a residential treatment facility, will be secure and locked in compliance with state law, and will comply with nine other codes and guidelines for such facilities.

The 198-page plan includes detailed descriptions of security measures from architectural floor plans that maximize safety for patients and staff to the kinds of locks used on the doors.

Executives from DSHS testified and answered McClean’s questions at the public hearing about the patients who might be treated at the facility and the security measures that will ensure the safety of staff, residents and the community.

McLean gave DSHS until March 20 to post additional information about the plan for the facility on the city’s website so that “parties of record” could provide written responses via email. “That’s not everybody. That’s the people that came and the people that spoke…” at the public hearing said McClean. He also named the school district a party of record.

In a concession, McClean will allow DSHS to “bifurcate” the two permit applications so that he could rule on the Fircrest plan separately from the behavioral health facility permit. If McClean approves the Fircrest plan, this would allow DSHS to start work on the skilled nursing facility without having to wait for the time consuming public engagement process he is requiring for the behavioral health facility.

Behavioral Health Facilities have faced controversy in King County.

The King County Department of Public Defense argues against the use of involuntary commitment, according to their website. “Our goal is to see resources diverted away from an expensive, court-based system that strips people of their liberty and dignity and to instead put resources into community-based programs that can provide housing, health care, and other supports to people living with chronic mental health disorders.”

As reported by The Seattle Times, one of the region’s largest behavioral health facilities unexpectedly stopped accepting new patients last summer. The move reduced the number of available beds for treatment of people suffering from acute psychiatric symptoms and followed allegations of safety lapses.

With dwindling enrollment and budget shortfalls, a new Task Force studies elementary school closure

Saturday, February 10, 2024

By Oliver Moffat

At its peak in 1959, Shoreline High School enrolled 1,900 students; but, due to dwindling enrollment and budget shortfalls the home of the Spartans was shut down in 1986.

On a recent Tuesday night, more than twenty parents, members of the community and school district staff gathered in the former school building to take on the difficult and possibly painful task of identifying which elementary school the district might close in 2025.

Once home to three high schools, five junior highs and nineteen elementary schools with nearly 18,000 students at its peak, the Shoreline School District has shrunk to just over 9000 students and is once again facing budget shortfalls. 

Shoreline has a long history of closing schools dating back to the end of the baby boom more than fifty years ago. The last time Shoreline went through this painful process was in 2006 when the district shuttered North City Elementary and Sunset Elementary.

The district’s handling of the 2006 school closures led to controversy. But this time, the district is hoping increased transparency and community involvement will help avoid the kind of rancor that has been seen in other districts across the state that are closing schools as a result of declining enrollment.


The district has assembled a task force called the School Capacity Review and Closure Consideration (SCRCC) which met for the first time on Tuesday night, February 6, 2024. 

The task force is chartered only with the job of making a recommendation about which school to close and will meet monthly to study data before presenting a recommendation next fall to the school board. 

The final decision on whether to close a school and if so, which one, will be up to the elected School Board and Superintendent Dr. Susana Reyes. The board and superintendent are empowered to make decisions such as this entirely on their own without consulting the community. The closure decision and any new school boundaries should be finalized in time for Kindergarten open enrollment in January of 2025.

Thick binders filled with data were placed on the tables in front of each of the task force members and district employees presented detailed statistics at the Tuesday night meeting.

Assistant Superintendent Brian Schultz told the task force that prior to 2020 the district was considering reopening North City Elementary. However, by 2022, budget shortfalls caused the district to make sudden deep cuts that prompted an outpouring of emotions from staff and community last year. And budget cut negotiations in the Spring of 2023 led to distrust and acrimony.

School board policy requires the district to hold liquid savings of between 4-5% of budgeted expenses and is the district’s key indicator of financial health. 

A slide from a January 8 Budget Advisory Committee Meeting shows the Shoreline School District’s declining funds

According to data shared at the January 8 Budget Advisory Committee meeting, the unreserved fund has been in decline from nearly 18% for the 2015-16 school year to 1.4% for the 2023-24 budget. COVID relief funds during the 2020-21 school year temporarily buoyed the budget, but it became clear the budget was in crisis when the indicator fell to 2.6% for the 2021-22 year.

Also presented to the task force was a Demographer Report commissioned by the district. Although the population of King County is projected to continue to grow, the birth rate has been declining since 2016, according to that report. In Washington State, school funding is tied to enrollment and districts are limited in how much money they can raise in local levies.

The task force will also consider the physical condition of each of the aging buildings and could factor the costs of necessary future building upgrades into the decision.

Another factor the task force will be considering this time around that was not considered in previous closure decisions is race, equity and the impact a school closure has on families in the community. 

In comments at the December 5 School Board meeting, Shultz said, historically, school closures have disproportionately targeted the most impoverished communities with the greatest needs and families of color.

This time, the district plans to proactively engage with the community, not just members of the community that have the time and resources to sit on committees, by using affinity groups, community forums and surveys. The task force will be using a Race & Equity Impact Decision-Making Tool to interrupt biases and think more broadly about all the people in the community.

Parents and other members of the community are encouraged to get involved and stay informed. The Strategic Planning Coalition meets monthly to draft the district’s first strategic plan. The Budget Advisory Team (BAT) meets monthly and receives detailed presentations on the districts budget. Parents can join their school’s PTA. And the public can attend regular School Board Meetings.

Update from Shoreline Schools re closure of Kellogg and Shorecrest on Friday, December 1, 2023

Saturday, December 2, 2023

Dec 1 2023

Dear Shoreline Schools Community,

We are writing to share with you an update about the reported safety concerns that led to the decision to cancel school at Kellogg and Shorecrest on Friday, December 1. (see previous article)

In regard to the safety concerns for students and staff at Kellogg and Shorecrest, the following information is what we can share at this time.

Thursday evening, November 30, we received multiple reports of a student who may have been planning to harm another student at Kellogg, potentially with a gun at school. 

Out of concern for safety while these reports were investigated and to allow for a thorough process, we made the decision to cancel school today (Friday) at Kellogg and at Shorecrest. Canceling school is never a decision to take lightly, but we felt it was necessary to fully ensure the safety of students and staff.

Today, in coordination with Shoreline Police, we have been investigating these reports and following up on concerns. 

At this time, there is no reason to believe that there is a risk to student or staff safety at either Kellogg or Shorecrest, and all school activities will resume on a normal schedule on Monday, December 4.

There are two processes currently taking place with regard to the student(s) named in the reports: law enforcement’s investigation, and the school disciplinary process.

In terms of school discipline, the school district is not permitted by law to share disciplinary action. What we can share is that no student will be permitted on a school campus or to return to a campus if there is any safety concern. 

Our school district takes a very deliberate set of actions in conjunction with law enforcement that help guide our decision making. We are taking very seriously the reports that we have received.

Kellogg and Shorecrest will have their counseling teams on hand next week to support students who need someone to talk to or help process their feelings. Please encourage your child to seek this support if you feel they would benefit from it. 

We know that you, as parents and guardians, have helped your children through many challenging issues throughout their lives. Hearing about these situations can also affect students who do not attend schools directly impacted by the school closures. 

You can use this information from the National Association of School Psychologists in having conversations with your child about their feelings: 

We are proud of our students who reported these concerns. 

Also, please take this opportunity to reinforce or encourage with your children that if they see or hear anything that they find concerning, to please:
  • share those concerns or information directly with you, 
  • tell a school staff member, 
  • call the police, or 
  • submit detailed information through our 24/7/365 SafeSchools Alert system.

Thank you for your partnership and support in caring for our Shoreline Schools community.

Sincerely,

Superintendent Dr. Susana Reyes
Assistant Superintendent of Schools Brian Schultz
Shorecrest Principal Dr. Chad Towe
Kellogg Principal Becca Whitney

**SCHOOL AT KELLOGG AND SHORECREST CANCELED FRIDAY 12/1**

Important message from Shoreline school District administration:

Good evening families,

We have received reports of concerns for safety at Kellogg Middle School and Shorecrest High School. In order to further investigate this in partnership with law enforcement, school is canceled tomorrow, Friday, December 1, at both Kellogg and Shorecrest. 

Students and staff should not report to either school; however, administration will be out front in the morning to help direct students and families who may arrive at either campus.

Because we are sending this late in the evening, please help us by sharing information of tomorrow’s school closure with your Kellogg and Shorecrest contacts.

The best avenue to quickly, easily, and anonymously report safety concerns, is our anonymous safety tip line. 

This system allows anyone to report safety concerns to school officials any day, at any time.

We will provide an update to the Kellogg and Shorecrest communities by the end of the day Friday.

We are grateful for your partnership and supportive, timely engagement with these concerns.

Thank you,

Superintendent Susana Reyes
Shorecrest Principal Chad Towe
Kellogg Principal Becca Whitney

Shorecrest and Kellogg are located next to each other on 25th NE in Shoreline.
