Burien, WA– The Highline Public Schools School Board invites community members, families, and staff to attend a work session on the district’s budget. Chief of Staff and Finance Duggan Harman will discuss the overall budget picture for next school year, including budget impacts related to the February bond failure.

Highline faces critical challenges after the bond measure fell short of the 60 percent approval required for passage.

Budget considerations include urgent needs stemming from aging schools and overcrowding due to growing enrollment. The work session will include discussion of expenditures necessary to meet those challenges.
