Please check Volunteers for Issaquah Schools FB page and share those posts to your community – We put up a great photo of the Levy Community Info Night that you can share.

Local Dollars Support Local Kids
In 2018, ISD voters approved a 2 year Education & Operations (EP&O) Levy. This levy provided continued support for career and technical programs, mental health counselors, safety and security staff, the district’s first dual language program and an expanded high school schedule. With voter approval of the 2020 EP&O Levy, voters can ensure these programs continue benefitting our students for another 2 years. Ballots drop this week. Please remember to vote.
