Highline's Capital Facilities Advisory Committee held its first meeting of the school year Oct. 12. Members reviewed school construction progress, received updates on the November bond proposal and discussed how the committee's work may change following the election.

In this episode of The Promise Podcast, Rann joins Superintendent Dr. Ivan Duran to reflect on her 28 years as a bilingual paraeducator at Mount View Elementary. She shares how she supports young readers and why meeting a student’s immediate needs can matter more than the lesson planned for that day. 

Visit Cascade, Chinook or Sylvester middle schools or CHOICE Academy to see how these buildings serve students today and learn about the projects proposed in Highline’s Nov. 3 school construction bond.

This week's Highline Headlines includes information about the November tech levy, when a school has power outages, the family action committee and more. 

Sometimes our schools might lose phone and internet service. When there is an outage, here is what you need to know to keep everyone safe and learning on track.

Highline families are invited to join Family University: Understanding Public School Systems, a learning series hosted by the Family and Community Engagement Team. Through interactive sessions, families will learn how the public school system works, better understand their rights and responsibilities, build stronger partnerships with schools and access tools to support their child's success.

The school construction bond would fund school improvement projects districtwide. The bond would replace aging building systems, complete critical facility upgrades, so existing schools continue serving students and the community for years to come. 

This week's Highline Headlines includes information about technology that supports student learning, joining the Family Action Committee, budget planning for 2027-28, the 2026 Burien Brat Trot and more.
