Boundary 10 grants $130K to support educational initiatives in local district

The Mukilteo School District's Regular School Board meeting on June 24, 2025, highlighted significant support received from Boundary 10, an educational research organization. The meeting focused on the impact of a grant totaling over $130,000, which has been instrumental in enhancing educational resources across the district.

Boundary 10, founded in 2013 by a teacher and a parent, aims to provide innovative support for teachers and students. The grant has funded various initiatives, particularly within the district office, and will continue to do so in the upcoming year.

Key areas of support included student health equity, where $16,669 was allocated for vision exams and hygiene supplies, including tailored Band-Aids for diverse skin tones. Additionally, $25,000 was dedicated to assistive technology, resulting in the purchase of 106 communication devices and interactive materials for 15 classrooms, significantly benefiting students with special needs.

The meeting also addressed the importance of sensory supports, with $10,206 invested in materials for 13 elementary schools, which were assembled by students from the community-based transition program. Furthermore, $15,000 was allocated for testing headphones, ensuring that all 20 buildings are equipped for standardized testing, alleviating anxiety for students during assessments.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's commitment to enhancing educational experiences through strategic partnerships and targeted funding, with plans for continued collaboration with Boundary 10 in the future.
