North Wasco County School District 21 Superintendent Candy Armstrong says state school funding for the next biennium needs to reach seven-point-eight-two-five billion dollars in order for schools to effectively provide full-day kindergarten and maintain the other programs they have.  The Legislative Ways and Means co-chairs only put seven-point-two-three-five billion in their budget for K-12, and while there has been speculation the number will reach seven-point-five billion, Armstrong says that wouldn’t be enough.  She acknowledged school officials in the state are being much more direct in their message to Legislators this year that in order to improve Oregon’s educational system, it’s going to take proper funding.  If the funding stays where the Ways and Means co-chairs have proposed, then Armstrong says D-21 will face budget cuts.
