some other districts.
I have attached the registration form [located at the bottom of this page] for your convenience, and will also place
some forms in the information rack in the Westhill office. Please e-mail or mail
in your child's registration prior to the workshop(s) you are signing up for.

Recent Letter Regarding Bond/Levys 2/11
Dear Liaisons -
While the results are still unofficial there is huge reason to celebrate. The YES votes have increased with each passing day - which is a trend that was predicted and expected to continue. Propositions 1 & 2 needed a 50% plus one, so they seem a sure thing. Proposition 3 still needs the super majority of 60%. The bond has historically always had a lower approval rating and with the current economy, the one we were the most worried about passing. We should all feel very proud of the work that made this measure successful. If you don't look at the results from other districts you should know that Lake Washington's bond is unlikely to pass.
For those who have not checked today:
King County -
Prop 1 is passing by 66%
Prop 2 is passing by 64%
Prop 3 is passing by 61.75%
Snohomish County -
Prop 1 is passing by 67%
Prop 2 is passing by 67%
Prop 3 is passing by 61.60%
In King County overall voter turnout is about 36%. Northshore is above average with nearly 40% turnout. Snohomish lists their turnout at 36% but does not break it down by district yet...
...Enjoy the break - and thank you again. If you look at the numbers for Proposition 3 I hope you realize how accurate the saying can be - Every Vote Counts.
Sincerely,
Citizens for Northshore Schools
