Mercer Island, WA, October 27, 2025 – The Mercer Island School District will host a Student Safety and Well-Being webinar on Wednesday, October 29, at 5pm.
This webinar will be hosted by Superintendent Dr. Fred Rundle.
The purpose of the webinar is to answer questions from our community about student safety and well-being after the news of sexual misconduct allegations against former MIHS teachers and to inform our community about the tangible steps MISD is taking to protect students in the wake of this news.
Mercer Island PTA Presidents are reaching out to their members to gather questions and concerns from families that will be addressed in the webinar. Our PTA’s involvement ensures our community’s voice is fully represented for this webinar on student safety and well-being. If you have any questions, please submit them through this Google Form before 12:00pm on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
The webinar will be recorded and be available on MISD’s YouTube channel and website the next day.
We are looking forward to engaging with our community in the webinar.
