The Issaquah School Board approved several gifts and donations at its Sept. 24 meeting that will fund various educational materials and programs at four elementary schools.
The Creekside Elementary School PTSA donated $15,000 to provide additional support for its Learning Assistance Program.
Endeavour Elementary School’s PTSA gave a total of $29,125 — $12,000 of it for the salary of an additional educational assistant to support its Learning Assistance Program, and the rest to purchase 24 laptops and a technology cart for its computer lab.
Educational assistant salaries were the targets of PTSA donations at Sunny Hills and Sunset elementary schools. Sunny Hills raised $12,000 and Sunset took in $16,000.
Board policy dictates the board must vote to accept any gift of $5,000 or more in value.
