The Mercer Island Schools Foundation has set a goal for their annual fund raising efforts for the 2005-2006 at $708,000. The top priorities for the year include funding the second year of the implementation of the school district’s new University of Chicago math curriculum, teacher enrichment grants and the adoption of other key learning materials. The foundation presented its final list of funding priorities for the coming school term at a School Board meeting June 29.
A continuance has been issued for the trial of Washington Evergreens hockey team founder, Gerald Alan “Jerry” Sherman, a 54-year-old Mercer Island man accused of 16 counts of wire fraud, securities fraud, mail fraud and attempted bank fraud.
