HR Schools Superintendent Says Governor’s K-12 Budget Not Enough

Hood River County School District Superintendent Dan Goldman is calling the Governor John Kitzhaber’s K-12 education budget for the 2015-17 biennium “woefully inadequate.”  Goldman says while the roll-up of the K-12 budget in Kitzhaber’s proposal is about three-and-a-half percent, some of that money gets carved out before districts receive their funds, dropping that figure down to about a half-percent. Goldman says on average, the district’s basic operating costs go up at least two-and-a-half to three percent a year.  He adds he doesn’t believe Kitzhaber’s budget figure will be approved by the Legislature, but if it is there will be reductions in the Hood River County School District.
