Marysville Tulalip Campus

Formerly Marysville Secondary Campus, it is an 84,000-square-foot campus which houses three separate schools operated by the Marysville School District and the Tulalip Tribes. The structures were constructed in 2008 of newly built prefab modular units which look and feel like traditional construction. The high schools share a gym and commons center. The site is owned by the district within the Tulalip Reservation. [3]

Governance

The district is governed by a board of directors elected from geographical sub-districts. [4] Each of the five directors is elected for a term of two years. [5] The superintendent is Dr. Becky Berg. [6] In October 2017, Deborah Parker was selected to serve as its director of Equity, Diversity, and Indian Education [7] [8] and continues to do so as of June 2018. [9]

A pair of levies were rejected by voters in 2022, leading to a financial crisis at the school district that required oversight from the Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. [10] The state office placed the Marysville School District under "binding conditions" in August 2023, making it the largest school district in Washington to require special oversight. [11] In June 2024, Washington Superintendant of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal declared Marysville school district financially insolvent, declaring the convention of a Financial Oversight Committee. [12]

Marysville School District Initiatives

The district offered computer science education for all elementary students through elementary computer science specialists. [13] As part of a focus on technology, Marysville deployed Chromebooks to all students in grades 6–12, coupled with professional development for teachers in those grades on changing pedagogy. [14] [15]

2014 school shooting

On October 24, 2014, at 10:39 a.m. PST, Marysville Pilchuck High School, located in Marysville, Washington outside Seattle, became the location of a school shooting. A gunman, identified as freshman student Jaylen Fryberg, shot several students before killing himself at the school. Four students, one of whom was a cousin of Fryberg's, were killed and a fifth, another of Fryberg's cousins, was seriously injured. [16] [17] [18] [19]
