Community Engagement Forums 


Lake Washington School District would like to invite you to a Community Engagement Forum. The purpose of the Community Engagement Forums is to gather feedback from a representative group within our school district which helps  provide recommendations to our Board of Directors as we revise our current district strategic plan for the Lake Washington School District. 
 
Having our community provide us with great ideas and feedback is an important part of this plan, and we hope you can be part of the process.
 
The Eastlake learning community forum will be held on Thursday, February 7th, 2019 from 4:30pm - 6:30pm. Snacks will be provided at these meetings.
 
The forums will focus on six strategic goal areas that are part of the current LWSD Strategic Plan. Participants will be asked to serve as members of a small group that focuses on one of the following areas:
 
•    Student Achievement
•    Safety and Security
•    Recruit, Hire, and Retain
•    Technology and Innovation
•    Facilities and Finance
•    Communication and Engagement
 
LWSD values your input in this process and hopes you can join one of these meetings (see additional dates below). In the event that you would like to participate but can’t be physically present at the locations, LWSD is trying something new by providing an option to participate online.

Host Homes- King County


The YMCA of Greater Seattle and Friends of Youth have launched a program that will efficiently and effectively house homeless youth. Host Homes King County connects homeless youth with supportive hosts in the community that have a spare room who can provide short-term, stable housing. They are seeking individuals and families who are willing to provide a caring and stable environment, and host a young person (12-24 years old) for up to 6 months. Hosts will be able to provide young people with the support needed to develop independent living skills and a safe space to work toward becoming stable and self-sufficient. Most importantly, young people are able to build and expand their community.  
For more information on the Host Homes King County program, contact Kimberly Turner at kimberlyturner@seattleymca.org or 206-458-8971, or visit the website.
