The North Wasco County School District 21 board approved Wahtonka Community School’s charter school application.  That sets up the next step to negotiate the charter agreement itself, and Superintendent Candy Armstrong says that will start immediately, with an aim to make the change over in September.  In a related move Aaron Bowman, who is on the board for the new charter school, resigned his seat on the D-21 board representing zone 5, which involves much of the Colonel Wright Elementary area.  The district is beginning to take applications for the vacancy, and those interested can call the district office at 541-506-3420, extension 1002.  In other business, the board approved the D-21 budget for the 2018-19 academic year.
