EVENTS
Marysville School District community meeting
Families are invited to a meeting at 9:30 a.m. Saturday on the Marysville Tulalip Campus, 7204 27th Ave. NE. The school district is planning for the future, and key topics include improving learning, better connecting with families and with the Tulalip Tribes, and a possible restructuring of secondary education that would move away from small learning communities toward boundary-based comprehensive high schools. The meeting is the last step in a months-long process of gathering ideas from the public, according to the district. To RSVP, go to http://bit.ly/April21MeetingRSVP.
