Due to recent budget cuts in the Shoreline School district the school board is planning to cut the position of drug and alcohol counselors also known as family advocates from Shoreline schools. This decision will directly impact 4 schools and its students in our district. It’s worth mentioning the hypocritical nature of this decision, when looking over Shoreline Schools strategic planning, executive summary you will find many points that directly contradict this budget cut. Students, families and teachers, are urged to sign this petition against the budget cut and its effects on students. Although this is not the only cut apart of the plan, it is the only position on the chopping board that interacts with students on a daily basis. This position has saved lives and it’s unacceptable and disrespectful to the shoreline school district community to cut it. In the next coming school year 25-26 this position will be gone unless the community can suede the school boards decision. Your voice matters.
