The Washington School District held a workshop meeting Monday evening and approved a preliminary budget for the 2021-2022 school year. The approval was unanimous for the $29,126,045 budget that calls for no tax increase. Also during the workshop, attendance in the district’s cyber academy was discussed. Fifty nine students are currently enrolled to outside cyber schools. In the district cyber school there has been an 8.5% decrease in usage with those students coming back to the building. Currently 49% of seniors are enrolled in cyber and 43% of juniors are registered cyber. The district is paying close attention to make sure students that opt for cyber are able to keep up academically with those students enrolled in the brick and mortar program.
