Tukwila Schools take on hundreds of new students from asylum-seeking families

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.

[@southernbreeze3278]

are they asylum seekers or economic migrants?

Asylum seekers. The US destroys their countries and they have nowhere to go..

90% economic migrants using asylum as a excuse for why they should skip the legal immigration process.

Asylum seekers from the Congo, Venezuela and Angola

These are my neighbors. I live four blocks from the church and I live one block from the school. I support them and welcome them and demand the Democrats cut the goddamn pentagon budget to pay for what people need..

You should’ve heard what your mom demanded last night

What is the impact of hundreds of new non English speaking students on sovereign kids and their futures. Not to mention the increased work load on already over worked teachers.

@@thereissomecoolstuff what is the impact of the United States and it’s corporations waging war on people in African countries and stealing their resources and forcing them to flee for their lives to this country for asylum? Don’t light your neighbors house on fire and then get mad when they run to you for help.
