BOARD APPROVAL
Yakima School board approves Paper for secure, unlimited, 24/7 access to tutors
At Yakima School District, WA, all students in grades 5 through 12 can now seek personalized learning help in English and Spanish from trained tutors.
We’ve been trying to figure out how we can best provide some support for our students in a safe manner. [Paper] gives students an opportunity to log in, and whatever class they need help with, it provides them an actual educator to be online with them 1:1.
—Dr. Robert Darling, Deputy Superintendent
Thank you staff for being a little forward-thinking and making sure our students have an opportunity to access tutors. I think that’s really going to make a difference for a lot of our kids.
—Martha Rice, School Board President
