Dear Middle School Patrons:
Welcome to the Wapato Public Schools 2010/2011 school year!
The following is taken from a recent letter from our superintendent to district patrons.
Budget Crisis: There has been a budget crisis in our State and Nation. This crisis impacts Wapato Public Schools because 97% of the District’s funding comes from these two sources. As a result of this budget crisis and our continued decrease in student enrollment it is necessary to cut the District’s 2009/2010 basic education budget by $2 million. The reduction has not impacted grants and special/categorical programs, at this time. It was the District’s goal to continue providing quality instruction and education in the core academic areas, student safety and minimize the impact to our staff. Thirty programs, departments, or areas were reduced with everyone helping achieve the District’s need to reduce $2 million. As a result of these reductions you will see some changes in the middle school athletic program. The middle school athletic events have been reduced by approximately 20%. Middle School “C” squads have been eliminated.
Crisis de Presupuesto: En nuestro estada y nuestra nacion hay una crisis de presupuesto. Esta crisis tiene impacto sobre las escuelas de Wapato porque el 97% de los fondos del distrito vienen de estas dos fuentes. Como resultado y por la baja en inscripcion de estudiantes, es necesario reducir el presupuesto del distrito basico de 2009-2010 por $2 millones. Por el momento esta reduccion no ha tenido impacto sobre subvenciones y programas especiales/categoricos. Fue la meta del distrito seguir con la entrega de instruccion y educacion de calidad en las areas esenciales del curricular, en la seguridad estudiantil, y un impacto minimo en nuestro personal. Fueron reducidos 30 programas, departmentos o areas con la ayuda de todos para lograr la reduccion de $2 millones. Como resultado de estas reducciones nuestros usuarios veran algunos cambios en servicios. La liga atletica de nivel de middle school ha reducido los eventos en aproximadamente 20%. Ha sido eliminado Middle School C squad.
Thank you for your continued support of the Wapato Schools Districts’ athletic programs.
Don L Erickson, District Athletic Director
