North Wasco County School District 21’s budget committee meets for the first time Tuesday to review the 2017-18 fiscal plan developed by district staff.  D-21 Superintendent Candy Armstrong says staff has worked with an assumption of statewide K-12 funding to be at eight-point-one billion dollars, and she says that means addressing long-standing personnel needs gets pushed back further.  Tuesday’s budget committee meeting begins at 6 p.m. in The Dalles Middle School Library.
