Washington Local OKs appropriations of $69.9M

7/1/2005

The Washington Local Board of Education last night approved slightly more than $69.9 million for its 2004-2005 appropriations.

The district spent 97.3 percent of its budget for the school year, leaving a carryover of about $1.9 million, Treasurer Jeff Fouke said.

The school board also passed 80 percent of its appropriations for fiscal year 2006.

Under Ohio law, school districts must approve a budget by today.

Mr. Fouke said the appropriations would be amended to include the remaining 20 percent, probably in December.
