North Wasco County School District 21’s Long Range Facilities Planning Committee held the first of five scheduled workshops this week, focusing on an assessment of existing building conditions and developing guiding principles.  In the assessment, D-21 Superintendent Candy Armstrong said the committee was told it would take 22 million dollars over the next five years to keep their facilities in the “poor” condition they are considered to be in, and 65 million to bring them up to a good level.  D-21 Chief Financial Officer Randy Anderson says those figures focus mainly on mechanical systems, and it drives the conversation in exploring choices of renovation or building new.  The committee meets again January 31, when they will be examining teaching and learning environments.
