District's Response to Intervention program praised
The district's tiered instructional model Response to Intervention (RTI) was featured in the Fall 2008 issue of Northwest Education published by the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory.
The article "The Wa-High Way" focused on Walla Walla High School's efforts to find an educational program to meet each student's specific needs.
Reporter Rhonda Barton said Walla Walla Public Schools was recommended by David Tudor of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction special education department. During Barton's one day, whirlwind visit to do the story she met with an interview panel and organized several classroom visits.
