Corine Pennington (Assistant Superintendent for Business and Support Services) Amie Brandmire (Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources and Employee Relations) Puyallup School District is a school district that supports the city of Puyallup, Washington, United States, and its surrounding areas.
[6] Soon, as more settlers came west, more small, makeshift schools were built for the children who fared poorly in winter months.
It was closed due to its position on a floodplain, decreasing enrollment numbers, and unsustainability.
The Puyallup school board later declared the property to be a "surplus" and authorized the district to seek a buyer.
[8] In 2015, the district was sued for alleged negligence in a sexual abuse case by a student at Ridgecrest Elementary during the 2013 school year.
[11] After days of delayed school and teachers on the picket lines, the strike came to an end and school resumed when the Puyallup Education Association passed an average 11% raise, making the pay range for teachers $52,000-100,000 annually.
[12] In 2019, several victims of abuse by a former Kalles Junior High teacher and coach stepped forward about what they experienced as students between 1991 and 2004.
The abuser, Tim Paulsen, had a great relationship with school administrators and colleagues, making him unassuming to them as someone who could be a child predator.
