Description
During the current school year - the Tukwila School District has been serving more students without any additional resources
The district recently took on 288 students - and counting - because of asylum-seeking families arriving in South King County.
School districts get state funding from enrollment numbers, but these new students from migrant and asylum-seeking families arrived after the budgets were already set.
The district has more than 3,100 students enrolled across five schools. Adding nearly 300 new students means the district saw a 10 percent increase which is a stark difference, year to year.
