North Wasco County School District 21’s budget committee approved a flat budget for the 2015-16 school year as many district officials hope the state will increase K-12 education funding for the upcoming biennium.  D-21 Chief Financial Officer Randy Anderson used a state biennium funding number of $7.255 million in putting together the budget, but says he wouldn’t be surprised if there is a revised number that will lead to changes to the fiscal plan before the school board holds its hearing in late June.  He added he budgeted to spend 49 percent of the biennial allocation rather than splitting it 50-50.  Anderson says the budget is flat…with no staff reductions or school days cut, but no cost of living increases either.
