As the White Salmon Valley School District does its budget work for 2022-23, the good news is it is about the same as it was last year. But with reduced enrollment since the pandemic, state legislators have been telling school officials they will need to adjust in future years if that trend continues. District Superintendent Sean McGeeney says White Salmon schools are down 150 students from before the pandemic. McGeeney says they will be watching their kindergarten numbers to see if the decrease in enrollment continues. McGeeney adds housing costs in the Gorge are a factor in the drop in students.
