Last Monday 2/16 VIS sent you 2 messaging points, 2 JPG images, and 3 PDF files of bond facts translated into 3 languages – Mandarin, Korean and Spanish. It was the 1st day of Mid-Winter break, but we wanted to make sure that you still had your weekly facts! Please check your emails from last week to make sure you received that email. Even if you didn’t send them out last week, you can bank them for the future! 🙂
Every Monday VIS sends an email with a new Bond Facts and a JPG Image (or two) which you can post on your website, send out in your Enews, and/or put in your Newsletter. These jpg images can be used for posting on Facebook pages, websites, etc.
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:
All PTAs in Issaquah have endorsed the bond, which means you can advocate to “VOTE YES”. BUT, if you send that “VOTE YES” wording out – you need to use your own PTA database and your PTA needs to send out the info (can’t say VOTE YES through the School Enews or through the School Office database). Everyone can send out Facts about the Bond through the School’s news (so you can share the facts below) – just can’t say VOTE YES if you send it through the school!

“Issaquah School Bond – A Few Facts”
“Issaquah School Bond – Enrollment & School Buildings”
Issaquah School Bond – A Few Facts: The Issaquah School District covers 100 square miles and five municipalities. We currently have 24 schools, housing 19,700 students. Since 2001, the ISD has increased its total building space from 36.2 square, but its energy consumption has decreased by 2%!
Issaquah School Bond – Enrollment & School Buildings: Our District has grown by nearly 5,000 students in the last ten years and is projected to grow an additional 1,500 to 2,000 students in the next five years. The attached chart shows how the ratio of students to school buildings has increased. More facilities are needed to meet the demand for classroom space.
