Northshore School District Faces 3.4 Million Dollar Shortfall

Tony Meier & Team. 37 years. 789 closed sales. $239M+ in closed volume since 2020.

The word on the street is Northshore will be closing one of the elementary schools on the Eastside of the district this next year.  The unfortunate effect of growth management no doubt!  With no new construction in the area, the district has had declining enrollment, some 600 plus kids expected in the next few years. Enough to close a school I am sure. Here is what can be found on there site... Responsible School Budgeting   Due to a combination of inadequate state funding, rising costs, and lower enrollment, the Northshore School District must adjust the general fund budget by $3.4 million for next year. Comments or questions? Please e-mail budget@nsd.org They even have a video explaining where they are at with finances and what they need to do to meet the budgeting goals & how we should contact our state representatives (Hello, Christine Gregoire!) to get them to pay their fair share. As a parent with 3 daughters in the district, I sure hope it won't be our school! I know I am not alone in that wish! Only time will tell. In the meantime, I will sit through meetings and rally support for our school just like every other concerned parent on the Eastside of Northshore's District will do.
