PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles School District board will review the proposed 2013-14 budget in a special meeting Thursday that is expected to include a discussion on all-day kindergarten.
The board will meet at 5 p.m. at the Central Services Building, 216 E. Fourth St.
Discussion also is expected to include counseling positions and elementary staffing, specifically addressing split classrooms, according to the agenda released Monday.
Funds for all-day kindergarten for the district are included in the state Legislature’s budget approved this year.
Children must be 5 years old by Sept. 1 to enroll in kindergarten for the 2013-2014 school year. Parents enroll children at their neighborhood schools.
The School Board have set a public hearing on the entire budget for Aug. 8, with adoption planned for Aug. 22.
The state requires school boards to approve budgets no later than the last day of August.
When the budget is ready for hearing in August, the district will have available at the Central Services Building office a copy for public review.
