Your PTSA Advocacy Representative

The Endeavour Elementary PTSA Advocacy Chair is responsible for keeping the Endeavour community updated on current legislative issues that affect our school, district, state and sometimes nation, as well as getting people involved in advocating for education.

The Advocacy chair typically attends the State PTA Legislative Assembly in the Fall of each school year. The Legislative Assembly is a gathering of PTA advocates from around the state who debate and decide which issues the State PTA will focus its lobbying efforts on during the State Legislative session. 

In addition, the Advocacy chair may attend and organize our community of parents for Focus Day. This is an opportunity to advance the cause of children and education funding during the Washington State Legislative Session in Olympia.

Your PTSA Advocacy representative is Jessica Bejera.  Please contact Jessica at jessica.bejera@endeavourptsa.org with any advocacy concerns, questions or to get involved.

Issaquah School District 2024 Modernization and Construction Bond
Issaquah School District is asking the community to consider a school modernization and construction bond in the November 5, 2024 election. School construction and modernization are minimally funded by the state, which is why school districts rely on local, voter-approved bond funding. Funding from the bond would be used to modernize buildings and infrastructure, giving every student in our district access to secure schools and innovative learning experiences that prepare them for their future. Bond funding would preserve our investment in facilities and ensure efficient and sustainable operations.
 
The bond proposal package was developed with the input of more than 60 community members, parents/guardians, staff and students who volunteered on the district's Bond Advisory Committee over the span of three months in the spring.
