Goldman Outlines HR School Cuts Possibilities To Legislators

Hood River County School District Superintendent Dan Goldman has outlined for legislators cuts his district are facing if the K-12 funding level that was approved and signed by Governor Kate Brown last week.  In a letter to legislators, Goldman says an initial set of budget reductions identified to make up the $900,000 the district must cut from its budget include eliminating about seven-and-a-half teaching positions, five-and-a-half classified jobs, a half to full administrative position, and over $100,000 in various program funds.  Goldman adds the vast majority of the district’s budget is people.  Another option is to cut school days.  The district board has directed administrators to negotiate with their unions in regard to cutting days.  It would take a reduction of about seven school days to reduce the budget by $900,000.  In the letter Goldman again told legislators the statewide K-12 budget has to get up to $7,500,000 to allow the Hood River district to avoid cuts.
