North Wasco County School District 21 officials have been using a state K-12 funding figure of eight-point-one billion dollars to prepare a budget for the 2017-18 school year.  That’s under the eight-point-four billion school advocates around the state have said is needed to maintain current programs, but slightly above the number in the Governor’s proposed budget.  Both D-21 Superintendent Candy Armstrong and Chief Financial Officer Randy Anderson say the number the district is using leaves them about a million dollars short of what they need.  State legislators have indicated there will not be significant movement toward finalizing a K-12 education budget until the state’s May revenue forecast comes out.
