The LWESP support staff members often go the extra mile to show up for work even when they’re not feeling well, but not Monday. And it’s no surprise, either. The administration seems to remain blind to the contribution those employees make, preferring to instead give themselves raises with annual increases that exceed $20,000 for top administrators, while stonewalling the support staff contract talks. On Monday, support staff said enough.”

The results of the Feb. 9 election are now final according to King County Elections, and Lake Washington School District (LWSD) passed two of three measures on the ballot.
The Replacement of Existing Educational Programs and Operations Levy passed by a margin of 61.63 percent yes votes to 38.37 percent no votes. The Replacement of Existing Capital Projects Levies passed by a margin of 59.11 percent yes votes to 40.89 percent no votes.
