A national philanthropic organization has stopped funding the Pasco school district, citing concerns over the practice of sharing sensitive student data with police first reported by the
Superintendent Kurt Browning said he was expecting $1.7 million more.
On Tuesday, however, the organization said it wouldnât send any additional money.
The decision was prompted by revelations that the district has been sharing student grades, attendance records and discipline histories with the Pasco Sheriffâs Office, the group said.
