After two failed attempts to transfer out of the Snoqualmie Valley School District, a group of Sammamish parents is deciding on their next move.

“We’re definitely frustrated,” said Terri Thompson, a parent from the Sammamish neighborhood that petitioned to transfer into the Lake Washington School District. “I don’t think it’s over, but I don’t know.”

The petition, signed by Thompson and representatives from some 60 other families, requested changing the school district boundaries to allow their Sammamish neighborhood to leave Snoqualmie Valley and join Lake Washington School District. Snoqualmie Valley School District denied the petition Dec. 15, and Lake Washington did also on Monday.

This is the second petition filed by the neighborhood in the last 10 years. The first, filed in 2003, was denied by Snoqualmie Valley but approved by Lake Washington and went to the Puget Sound Education Service District for a final decision. The ESD ruled in favor of the petitioners in Oct. 8, 2003, but Snoqualmie Valley appealed the decision in November, and it was reversed the following March.

Now, the petitioners may appeal.

“Our little community feels like we have no voice. We actually feel like we have no community,” Thompson said. “I think that our only choice left is to file an appeal, and possibly get it heard by a judge.
