Re-funded school bond would help upgrade facilities
By Meredith Lawrence
Correspondent, The Sun
In the midst of its budget unknowns and a lack of funding on the state level, the Sheridan School District will seek voter approval to use additional funds it has garnered from an existing bond.
Last year, the district sold the bond it received in 2003 to build Faulconer-Chapman School at a lower interest rate than it had previously been paying. Because of the sale, the bond rate will drop.

Willamina to add alternate classes
By Meredith Lawrence
Correspondent, The Sun
After considering the rises in alternative education costs and a need for more differentiation between alternative classes and regular ones, Willamina School District has decided to open its own alternative school on the Oaken Hills Campus.
Additionally, the district has seen an increasing number of students who elect to take online classes as a way of getting out of education in the traditional classroom setting because they simply don’t want to be in that particular class, said Dean of Students Bart Baldwin.
