Blogs: District 196

Echo Park Elementary principal Logan Schultz and teacher Brian Hurley — named Region 6 Magnet Teacher of the Year — were recognized at the District 196 school board meeting on February 9th.

District 196's American Indian Education Program serves 579 students from 67 tribal nations with cultural programming, language learning, and academic support from pre-K through 12th grade.

District 196 transports over 22,000 students daily on 220 buses, but a persistent driver shortage has left some routes delayed or cancelled.

Starting with the class of 2028, all District 196 students must complete a personal finance course covering budgeting, credit management, and investing before graduation.
