The Hood River County School District is starting to take steps toward preparing a budget for the 2015-16 school year. Both the Governor and majority Democrats in the Legislature have unveiled their proposed statewide budgets for the upcoming biennium. District Superintendent Dan Goldman says he’s planning to hold community meetings in February to discuss the budget and get feedback. Goldman says their best estimate for state funding won’t come until May, which will take into account district enrollment numbers that have been up by about 50 students this year. Enrollment has been flat the past few years, and Goldman adds it is difficult to project if the increase is a one-time occurrence or the beginning of a trend.
