As North Wasco County School District 21 enters into 2015, there is cautious optimism about where the district is at financially.  Superintendent Candy Armstrong says she feels there is an opportunity for the district to build back some of what it has lost during cutbacks in recent years.  CFO Randy Anderson sees reasons for optimism, especially with a focus on early learning in Governor John Kitzhaber’s proposed state budget for the next biennium, adding there appears to be an appetite in the Legislature to properly fund full-day kindergarten.  However, Anderson did add the Governor’s budget for K-12 education as proposed is essentially flat considering basic increases in the cost of doing business.
