Your Voice Counts 
Image Your Voice Counts and the Blaine County School District Board of Trustees want to hear from you.
All parents and staff with email addresses in Skyward should have received a survey about the elementary Dual Immersion program.
The Board of Trustees would like parent and staff input on two options being considered: 1) a Dual Immersion Magnet school at Woodside Elementary or 2) maintaining neighborhood schools with one  Dual Immersion classroom K-5 at each school. Either of the two options being considered could affect all elementary schools, regardless of whether a student is in Dual Immersion or not. Please take time to make Your Voice Count.  Click here for more information.

Propositions 1, 2 and 3 
Image Some of you may have received calls from teachers regarding Propositions 1, 2 and 3. Teachers are making calls from personal phones on their own time.
It's important for voters to become informed about all elections.

A "no" vote on Propositions 1, 2 and 3 would repeal the current education laws supported by Superintendent Luna and passed by the legislature last year, known as Students Come First. A "yes" vote would maintain Students Come First.

There are two websites with resources for both sides of the propositions.

For the "no" vote on Proposition 1, 2 and 3:
