TULALIP, Wash. (AP) — The Tulalip Tribes are giving $1.26 million to the Marysville School District to rescue programs threatened by the economic downturn.
The Herald newspaper says the money will help the district provide science curriculum and professional development for middle schools. It will provide math materials, teacher training and two district math coaches. The tribe is also helping the district pay for a new student data system, cultural diversity training for staff, all-day kindergarten and class size reductions through the third grade.
The money announced this past week is on top of what the tribes already give the school district. In past years, the tribes have given about $1.8 million annually for education initiatives.
