“Passage of this levy will provide equitable access to critical programs for our students. It funds counselors and social workers who support students’ social-emotional wellbeing. It pays for nurses so students with medical needs can continue learning in school. It supports advanced courses and other challenging academic programs so students are ready to succeed after graduation. I fully support renewing this levy!”

"As parents in the Highline School District, we know that renewing this levy is more important now more than ever. Passing the levy means all of our students will have access to counselors and support staff they so badly need after the past year. Not renewing this levy will only bring more challenges to our students who are already dealing with so much. We're proud to endorse the Highline levy, and we hope you will join us by voting yes in November."
