The Levy funds successful programs that support early learning, school-based health centers, family support, enhanced academic and out-of-school programs, plus summer school and more.
- Please Vote "YES!" on the Families & Education Levy!
- We need phone bankers! Join us every evening, plus Saturdays until November 8th to remind voters that this Levy provides proven investments to help make sure thousands of our children, Seattle's early learners through our 12 graders, enjoy academic success and bright futures!

Let Your Voice Be Heard - Opportunities to Give Your Input on the Permanent Superintendent of Seattle Public Schools
The Seattle School Board will decide this winter whether to conduct a national search for a Superintendent or whether to appoint Interim Superintendent Dr. Susan Enfield. Before the School Board decides, they will seek input on the traits that members of the public would like to see in a Superintendent. The School Board has partnered with the Seattle Council PTSA to help gather this information from Seattle Public School families. As a part of this we are hosting three community meetings in November where families can share their thoughts with members of the School Board. There will also be a survey seeking the same input available in mid-November.
Families of all students in Seattle Public Schools are encouraged to attend and share their comments in these free and welcoming community meetings hosted by the Seattle Council PTSA.
Monday, November 14, at Roosevelt High School, 7:00-8:30pm
Tuesday, November 15, at Denny International Middle School, 7:00-8:30pm
Thursday, November 17, at South Shore K-8, 7:00-8:30pm
Childcare and light snacks will be available starting at 6:30pm at all locations. For interpretation services please email barbara@seattlecouncilptsa.org or call (206)364-7430.
