New Investment for Bellevue School District will Create K-12 Curriculum Web Site to Serve as Statewide and Nationwide Model

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- The Bellevue Schools Foundation (BSF) has been awarded a $1.9 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a Web-based curriculum to improve student achievement within the Bellevue School District (BSD). Designed to be universally adaptable, the Web curriculum has the potential to serve as a model guide for other school districts in Washington state and across the nation.

The Internet-based system will be accessible to students, parents, and teachers, and will provide information about courses, units and lessons, and resources to strengthen curriculum, instruction, and classroom learning so that all students graduate with the skills necessary for success in college, work, and life.
