D21 Gets Comments On Bond Measure Failure

About 75 people attended as the North Wasco County School District 21 board held a “listening session” in the wake of the defeat of D-21’s proposed bond measure to replace school buildings across the district.  Comments from the audience went across the board, came from people who voted both for and against the measure, and touched on themes ranging from voters not having enough information, questioning whether the district could manage construction costs, and taxes being too high in The Dalles as it is, to a recognition D-21 needs to replace many of its facilities.  District Superintendent Candy Armstrong says they will continue to collect data, and they will get more once the election results are certified.  Armstrong added a large number of people in attendance did not speak, but they did receive some written comments.
