The White Salmon Valley School District has surveying its staff and student families as it takes steps to develop a new strategic plan. Superintendent Rich Polkinghorn says they made the survey general in nature. He noted many of the responses have raised the issue of available resources after the district had to make budget cuts to deal with a large fiscal shortfall, but Polkinghorn says now they can begin to move forward, calling the budget picture stable. Polkinghorn says the intent is to have strategic plan developed by the middle of this year.
