The North Wasco County School District 21 board approved a budget for 2016-17 on Thursday night.  Superintendent Candy Armstrong says the fiscal plan essentially maintains the status quo from this year.  She notes the 2017-18 budget may prove to be more challenging, depending on what happens in the upcoming session of the Oregon Legislature.  Armstrong said the only change made prior to the budget going to the board was to shift some money set aside for college credit tuition to have part of it go to the Wahtonka Community School rather than all of it to The Dalles High School.
