In addition to expanding space and improving services, the new building will honor an employee who worked for the Walla Walla County Rural Library District for more than 20 years.
As schools across the nation finish their first term of the 2020-21 school year, drastically more students are receiving failing grades than the typical number in pandemic-free years.
The Associated Press recently reported that schools nationwide are seeing up to three times as many students receiving Fâs than in a normal year.
Here in the Walla Walla area, students are not immune.
Local school officials have confirmed a sharp increase in the numbers of their students who have received at least one F.
Moreover, said Milton-Freewater Superintendent Aaron Duff, itâs not just the number of students getting Fâs that is alarming, itâs also who is earning them.
