Board schedules budget hearing

The McMinnville School Board will hold a hearing on the district’s 2015-16 budget at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the district office, 1500 N.E. Baker St. A brief special session to consider finalizing the budget will follow at 8:30 p.m., along with a work session.

In May, the budget committee approved a $61.3 million budget that would reduce class sizes at the elementary level and help preserve positions funded by grants that are running out. The board must give its approval before the budget is finalized.

Before voting, however, the board will hear an update on state school funding and the district’s long-range facility task force report.

For more information, call the district office at 503-565-4000.
