Maple Hills PTA Endorses the Bond

Maple Hills Elementary PTA

Supports Issaquah School District Bond 2024

At last night's General Membership Meeting, the Maple Hills Elementary PTA proudly voted to support the Issaquah School District Bond for 2024. Our school, built in 1969, is in urgent need of modernization, including a new roof to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for our students.

The Issaquah School District is asking the community to consider this crucial bond in the upcoming election on November 5, 2024. School construction and modernization receive minimal funding from the state, which is why local, voter-approved bonds like this are essential. Bond funding would allow the district to modernize our facilities and infrastructure, ensuring that every student has access to secure schools and innovative learning experiences that prepare them for their future.

Investing in our schools is investing in our community’s future. By supporting this bond, we are ensuring efficient, sustainable operations and preserving the facilities that serve our children. To learn more about the bond and the improvements planned for Maple Hills, visit Issaquah School District Capital Projects.

Why It Matters to Maple Hills Elementary School

Maple Hills Elementary, built in 1969, has undergone several improvements over the years, including safety and traffic flow enhancements. However, our school still needs critical updates, specifically a new roof, to maintain a safe and effective learning environment for our students. See the Maple Hills Elementary Expansion/Remodel Details.

The Issaquah School District Bond 2024 offers a vital opportunity to fund these necessary improvements. By supporting this bond, we can secure the resources needed to preserve and modernize our school, ensuring it remains a safe and supportive place for our students to learn and grow.

Let's work together to create a better, safer future for our students!

Securing the Future:

How the 2024 Issaquah School Bond
and VIS Support Education

The 2024 Issaquah School District Bond Measure, totaling $642.3 million, aims to modernize aging facilities, improve safety, and address enrollment growth by funding new school construction. This bond is critical for maintaining and enhancing the quality of education in the district, as state funding covers only a small portion of these needs. Volunteers for Issaquah Schools (VIS) plays a vital role by advocating for the bond's passage, educating the community about its benefits, and organizing campaigns to encourage voter support. Their efforts ensure that the district has the resources necessary to provide safe and modern learning environments​.
