During a recent North Shore Council PTSA meeting, representatives discussed upcoming events and the impact of budget cuts on local schools. Holly Munchow, representing the PTSA, emphasized the importance of community involvement as the school year begins, urging parents to join their local PTA. She highlighted several upcoming events, including leader meetups and a general membership meeting scheduled for September 11 at Woodinville High School Library.

Robbie Reid, president of the North Shore Education Association, welcomed staff and students back for the 2024-2025 school year and called for urgent action regarding education funding. Reid announced a town hall meeting on October 23 at Edmonds Woodway High School, aimed at addressing the ongoing education funding crisis. This event will feature educators sharing their experiences with budget shortfalls and provide a platform for community members to engage with local legislators.

The meeting also included a public comment segment, prioritizing student voices, as the board aims to foster community engagement and address concerns directly from those affected by educational policies. The discussions underscored a collective commitment to advocating for adequate funding and support for public education in Washington.
