2024-2025 PTSA Board
What’s The Difference Between PTSA, ASB, and ISF?
The Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), Associated Student Body (ASB), and Issaquah Schools Foundation (ISF) are three separate but complementary organizations which provide a variety of support to multiple programs at BLMS. While each school has its own PTSA and ASB, the ISF supports all schools district-wide.
