Montlake resident, Kerry Clayman delivered a strong plea to preserve Montlake Elementary’s southern boundary along the edge of Interlaken Park, at the Seattle School Board meeting on Wednesday night, with a contingent of Montlakers cheering her on.
Seattle School Board is currently considering a proposal to shrink the southern boundary of Montlake Elementary. The new boundary would split Boyer Avenue in half, assigning a small number of Montlake families whose homes line the south side of Boyer or border Interlaken Park to Stevens Elementary, instead of our neighborhood school.
There’s still time to speak up to protest this change. (For more information about what’s happening, see this earlier post.) The school district’s online feedback survey will be available through Monday, October 21st, to take feedback.
To get to the survey, click here. The number on which you are providing feedback is 41. You may cut and paste the form letter here or write your own. If you live in the impacted area, please personalize your comments to say so.
Don’t wait! Numbers matter—even if you are not directly impacted by these changes, the more neighbors who weigh in, the more the school board will understand the importance of keeping our community intact.
