The North Wasco County School District 21 budget committee approved a Fiscal Year 2025-26 budget to send the district board for final approval next month. Prior to the approval, interim Chief Financial Officer Randy Anderson outlined for the committee the nine different positions being eliminated, most of which were currently vacant. That includes two middle school teaching positions. Anderson told the committee that’s in response to enrollment that is smaller than it used to be, and both positions were already vacant. Anderson said there was a net reduction of six positions in the district for next year.
