Mid-Schools are more costly. The incoming 9th grade has the largest number of students in District history. There is a need for two additional need elementary schools. Max capacity at the high school is 2,600-2,700 students unless you add portables and Ken isn't in favor of going in that direction. This year, the high school graduated 592 students. In summary, passage of both levies provided accelerated learning to meet the students' needs which was intentional on the strategies developed by the school district to support the students. Teachers are all on board the multi-track function. Gina Anderson led the district on the accelerated learning program. Another important aspect of the district is that equity, diversity, and inclusion be a big part of the district so that they can create an environment in learning. Students must feel welcome in the district. Ken just concluded his first full year as the Superintendent. Prior to that he was the Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning giving support and direction related to curriculum, instruction, assessment, special services and programs and learning for both students and staff. Did you know that Ken when to Washington State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in History and Education? He earned his Master's in Education Administration from Central Washington University, his Administrative Credentials from City University, and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Washington. Ken played football in college for the Cougars and professionally for the New England Patriots.
