The state office placed the Marysville School District under "binding conditions" in August 2023, making it the largest school district in Washington to require special oversight. In June 2024, Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal declared Marysville school district financially insolvent, declaring the convention of a Financial Oversight Committee.
