White Salmon Valley School District Superintendent Jerry Lewis, like many other superintendents in Washington, is watching closely legislative budget talks in Olympia to see if “hold harmless” funds are forthcoming.  Funding changes for K-12 education in Washington in the wake of the McCleary court decision has left the White Salmon district facing a $1.2 million dollar shortfall for 2019-20.  Lewis says a current proposal would only give the district $87,000, but he is trying to remain optimistic about a better outcome.  Lewis says the district currently has an ending fund balance of $2.2 million.
