Here are your weekly message points and JPG images. Thank you again so much helping get this information out to your school communities! Your efforts are a vital part of this campaign. Thank you!

 

Here are your weekly Bond fact/Message points 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!

“Responsible Financing & Fiscal Responsibility
“Responsible Financing & Cost Comparison”

Issaquah School Bond – Responsible Financing: The Issaquah School District is one of only a handful of districts in the nation with a Moody’s Aaa rating and an S&P AA+ rating. Only 0.45% of school districts nationwide have this distinction! This allows the district to borrow funds at a lower interest rate and therefore save taxpayers money.

Issaquah School Bond – Cost Comparison:  The Issaquah School District builds top notch facilities at a cost per square foot that is on average lower than that of its neighboring districts.
