About Spokane School District

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

Spokane Public Schools is the largest school district in eastern Washington and the second largest in the state. Our commitment is to keep our students engaged in school, on track for graduation, and prepared for college and career without need for remediation. To do this, we offer several alternative programs, from Montessori and parent participation programs, to gifted classes and programs for at-risk students. Of our 3,226 employees, 1,758 are classroom teachers, who have an average of 13 years' experience. Roughly 74 percent have at least a Master's degree. SPS is fortunate to have consistent community support, including dozens of partnerships with businesses and non-profit organizations. Voters traditionally approve levies, which fund nearly one-quarter of the district’s budget. And in 2009, voters approved a $288 million bond to continue facilities and technology improvement throughout the district. Construction projects through 2015 include the renovation of four elementary schools, one high school and a middle school gym; safety and technology upgrades and maintenance upgrades district-wide.
