Community Involvement
Parent participation is encouraged through parent clubs, school site councils and volunteer work at the schools. Members of the business and residential community fund support services and the visual and performing arts for the Shoreline Unified School District through a parcel assessment (Measure A).
The district has been successful in grant applications to augment instructional and support programs.
The community has passed a $7,000,000 bond measure for facility improvements district-wide in November of 2000. Facility improvements have occurred on each campus.
