STAR/SPECIAL EDUCATION

Please be sure to recruit for a Special Education Representative for your school!  

There are only a few Special Ed Reps at the schools listed below. This position is an important part of the PTSA as about 10% of Issaquah’s students are on are an IEP and receive special services support. We want to make sure these families have a voice and ensure that all PTA activities have accommodations to make families feel like they are part of the community. 

Schools WITH Special Ed Reps: 

  • Apollo Elementary 

  • Briarwood Elementary 

  • Cougar Ridge Elementary 

  • Creekside Elementary 

  • Grand Ridge Elementary 

  • Issaquah High School 

  • Maple Hills Elementary 

 If your school is NOT listed, please recruit a school liaison!  

Below is a job description to use to recruit. We will be creating a checklist and job handbook over the summer and help your new Special Ed Rep get started. The person who takes on the role can really make the job what they want and adjust to what your individual school’s needs. 

Please reach out to Carrie Hipsher (special-ed@issaquahptsa.org) if you have questions and to let me know the name of your new Special Education Rep! 

PTSA Special Education Representative Job Description: 

  • Actively publicize the role of Special Education Rep so families know of the position and who to contact if they need help or have questions.  

  • Work with your school PTSA to help them adapt events and activities to be more inclusive for students with special needs and their families. 

  • Help connect students and their families with available school and community resources. 

  • Be a good listener and help families understand Issaquah’s special education process. 

  • Advertise Issaquah PTSA Council Special Education events and communication, as well as relevant updates from the school district. 

  • If on social media, join the Issaquah Special Education PTSA Committee Facebook Group, encourage families to join, and help answer questions and share your experience as you feel comfortable. 

  • Attend, at least quarterly, Issaquah Special Education PTSA Committee meetings and/or trainings, and share best practices and learnings. 

  • Ideally, the Special Education Rep will have a child with an IEP or 504 so they already have a basic understanding of laws and process, but anyone with the passion and the heart to be an advocate is welcome! 

 

OPTIONAL: You may choose to add any of the following if they are relevant to your PTSA. 

  • Attend (your school name) PTSA Meetings. If unable to attend a meeting, share a written report and/or keep the PTSA Board updated on the status of what you are doing. 

  • Attend at least one WSPTA approved training course per year (if this position is on your board) and pursue adequate training to perform the duties of the position.

The Issaquah School District Levy Committee met for the 3rd time on May 31st. The district shared information about the Capital Levy which included details on what Technology items and upgrades are proposed as part of the 2018 Levy package. There was also a discussion about adding lighting to the Maywood Middle School Field. The committee voted unanimously to approve the Capital levy and the addition of lights for the Maywood field. The district will need to research if the lights will be added in the future, including working with King County for permitting. More information to come on that item in the future.
The committee went over the entire 3 part total package – M&O Levy rates, Transportation and Technology (Capital) Levy and approved the entire package as a whole. The information now goes back to Superintendent Ron Thiele, who will present the final package to the school board for final approval to run a Levy in 2018.  Click here for more information and details of the meetings, including handout materials and meeting minutes: https://www.issaquah.wednet.edu/district/levy-development-committee-2018
If you are interested in helping with VIS (Volunteers for Issaquah Schools) on the Levy campaign, please contact Dawn or Alicia at dawn@visvote.org or alicia@visvote.org. It is a great way to work with volunteers all over our community!

This month’s Outreach Ask for Council meeting:    

Please consider a small monetary donation to support two schools who do not have PTAs/PTSAs to support their Staff Appreciation events.  Each year the Council provides a Staff Appreciation event for Echo Glen (the school at Youth Detention Facility in Snoqualmie) and the Academy for Community Transition (ISD program for 18-21 year-olds with qualifying disabilities).  It is incredibly difficult to collect food donations for this purpose across the district.  Funds collected will be used to supplement the small budget provided for these events.  Thank you!

Call for Levy Committee Community Members 

Every four years, the Issaquah School District asks local voters to approve levies to pay for educational essentials that the state does not fund, including school buses, classroom technology, and about 20 percent of the operations budget. Because our current levies expire next year, the District is forming a community committee now to help plan the renewal levy measures. If you are interested in representing the community at large on the committee, please contact Lisa White (425-837-7024) for an application. Committee members will consider the overall need, proposed content, total cost, and tax impacts of the ballot measures and present a final recommendation to the Superintendent. The commitment is several Wednesday evening meetings in May and June.
