A 2021-2022 school budget of $14.6 million in expenditures was approved on Monday.

The Grand Coulee Dam School District Board of Directors approved the budget in their regular meeting following a public hearing in which there was no public input.

The expenditures total $14,620,000, leaving about $850,000 remaining at the end of the 2021-2022 school year.

In the 2020-2021 school year, expenditures totaled $13,000,000, and in the 2019-2020 school year, expenditures were about $11.6 million.
