Election coverage: Mayor, health leaders call on voters to re-approve the ...
Flanked by local health care leaders, Mayor Mike McGinn today called on Seattle to vote “Yes” on the Families & Education Levy so the City can continue providing successful “wrap around” services, including student health centers, to Seattle’s public school students.
If re-approved by voters, the City’s Families & Education Levy will provide nearly $232 million in continued funding for:
• School-based health clinics in middle and high schools that any student can use; • After-school and summer programs.
Approximately $44.4 million, or 18.8 percent, of the $231.5 million levy will provide continued funding for health clinics in middle and high schools where any student can go to receive physical, mental, and dental health support.
Mayor McGinn praised the Levy, noting that “We owe our kids the chance to succeed. At a time of deep state cuts in education dollars, our city is standing up and enhancing our funding for proven programs for our kids. The students who use the health centers funded by the Families & Education Levy have fewer absences, higher GPAs, and are less likely to drop out of school. This is about graduating ready for a career or post-secondary education. This is about Seattle competing in the global economy in the 21st century. And a renewal of the Levy will help expand our circle of prosperity so that every student, in every neighborhood, gets and stays on the path to success.”
Neighborcare CEO Mark Secord joined McGinn in calling for renewal and enhancement of the seven-year Levy. "Neighborcare Health operates school-based health centers in six middle schools and high schools in the Seattle School district. We provide preventative health care, including immunizations and mental health counseling. Many of these schools are located in diverse, low-income neighborhoods where students may have difficulty accessing health care. With a school-based health center, teens can get care at the school they attend each day, develop trusting relationships with medical and mental health care providers on site, and get the services they need to get healthy, stay healthy and succeed. The Families and Education levy makes this possible. We urge voters to support the levy to help ensure that no student goes without the health care they need.
