Based on feedback from readers and conversations we’ve had with community members, reporting on education news throughout Snohomish County is a critical beat that The Daily Herald needs to cover more deeply than ever.
Good educational opportunities and systems help residents and communities to thrive. So we established the Education Project as a long-term journalism initiative that will inform and connect students, families, leaders, and others throughout the community on critical issues, challenges, and solutions for education in Snohomish County.
But first, we need your help to grow the fund.
The $54 million project will completely replace the aging elementary school. Students are set to move in by the 2026-27 school year.
The Department of Education announced Tuesday it will lay off more than 1,300 employees.
Which local organizations are leading the way in impact and service? Let’s find out.
