White Salmon Schools Get Ready To Start

The White Salmon Valley School District is getting ready for the start of classes on September 1.  After experiencing a large enrollment bump two years ago, District Superintendent Jerry Lewis says they are anticipating fairly stable numbers this year.  Lewis notes they are watching the enrollment trends closely with a changing population base in the district.  He noted the growth of Insitu and other high-tech industry in the White Salmon area was a big factor in the numbers jump two years ago.  Lewis adds the district this year qualified for state funding of full-day kindergarten.
