North Wasco County School District 21 officials are calling the results of a survey of community attitudes around the perception and vision for schools and the district very positive. The survey by Patinkin Research Strategies of 300 likely D-21 voters found 62 percent had a positive opinion of the quality of education in the district, while 55 percent said they would be willing to pay more to repair or replace aging facilities. D-21 Superintendent Candy Armstrong says the results were much better than a similar survey conducted seven years ago, and believes the voting community wants to be a part of the district preparing for the future. Armstrong said messages from the survey also showed voters want the district to be transparent and accountable, and to take care of the basic needs when it comes to facilities, especially in regard to safety and overcrowding. She says the next task for the district is to continue the community conversation to shape the specifics of what should be included in a bond measure in the near future, and staff will need to refine those priorities into a detailed form.
