In fact, 10% of Winlock School District’s budget is grant-funded–that’s a lot! We work to secure grants to minimize the amount of funding we ask for from our local community. Since grants are often for only 1-2 years and for specific purposes, we still need the support of our local community to fund enrichment activities and staff above the state allocation. Our local EP&O levy makes up 13% of our budget.
