Yakima School District Worried About State Dollars

This is a nervous time for Yakima School District officials worried about the possible loss of state matching dollars for a new Eisenhower high school and major remodeling work at Davis high and Stanton Academy. During a press conference at the district offices today School Board President Marth Rice says if the district doesn't get the expected 105 million dollars in matching funds the options are bleak. She says the district could delay the projects, scale them down or pay for them with general fund dollars. Rice says none of the options are attractive. She's hoping lawmakers decide to fund the projects at the end of the legislative session.
