Senate education chair McAuliffe named to education foundation board

OLYMPIA – Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, has been named to serve on the board of a group that provides students with supportive educational programs and numerous activities in Snohomish County.

“I’m looking forward to joining the Snohomish Education Foundation and helping to provide more opportunity for our students around Snohomish County,” said McAuliffe, it’s a group that really makes a difference for kids in our area.”

The foundation was founded in 1986 to provide broader educational opportunities for students and teachers in the Snohomish School District. Led by a volunteer board, the foundation develops private donations to build their programs.

“We’re delighted to welcome Sen. McAuliffe to our board of trustees for the Snohomish Education Foundation. She understands – with 11 grandchildren in Snohomish public schools – that a basic education is not enough, and she is committed to helping us give every child a margin of excellence in their education,” said the board’s vice president Janet Kusler.
