Shoreline School District Accountability Report

Dear Shoreline Schools Community,

We are excited to introduce the new Shoreline School District Accountability Report to our educational community. In the development of the 2010-2011 Board/Superintendent/District Priorities, a commitment was made to create a “District Accountability Report,” which would allow our educational community to track the District’s progress/change over time, in a variety of areas.  This report is intended to be a dynamic document that can be updated with the most current student assessment results, district demographics and progress on other important initiatives.

Sincerely,
Sue Walker
Superintendent
