As the Hood River County School District works on its budgets for the 2018-19 school year, two plans are being developed. District Superintendent Dan Goldman says one budget is based on renewal of the district’s local option levy that is on the May ballot, and one if it is not renewed. Goldman says without the local option, class sizes would go up, and areas that would be reduced without the local option include extracurricular activities and topics that have been added back to the district budget in the last couple of years like middle school foreign language and elementary physical education, music, and counselors. The first meeting of the district budget committee is set for May 29, two weeks after the vote on the local option.
