The Issaquah School District (ISD) is currently planning to build a new elementary and high school at Providence Heights, which is located just outside the southern border of Sammamish adjacent to 228th Ave SE. With the City of Sammamish opposing the construction of these two schools, we interview Ron Thiele, the superintendent of ISD, and Kavya Yerramili, a junior at Skyline High School, to discuss why ISD wants to build these schools as soon as possible.
