White Salmon Schools Finishing Budget Work

With the Washington legislative session in the rearview mirror, the White Salmon Valley School District is now finishing work on its budget for the 2025-26 school year.  District Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn says they are developing a maintenance-level budget.  With declining enrollment, the district is reducing its staff by two-and-a-half full-time equivalent positions, but Polkinghorn says that is being achieved through attrition.  He says the budget should go to the district board in July.
