According to KIRO in Seattle, toilet paper donations are being accepted at Kent schools from October 9 through 12.

The school district is also accepting construction paper, paper towels, reams of copy paper and facial tissue.

The superintendent for the school district tells KIRO that the budget shortfall was caused by a miscalculation of enrollments.
