The Baker School District’s 2012-13 proposed $16,673,316 budget shows an increase of $570,198 from the current year’s document.

After an hour-long review of the plan, the budget board members agreed to meet again next week to consider any revisions that might be made as more information becomes available from the state.

The budget board will meet again at 6:30 p.m. May 22.

In his budget message Tuesday night, Superintendent Walt Wegener said the proposal is based on 98 percent of the state’s projected funding for the biennium. District administrators have taken a conservative approach to budgeting because of the instability of state funding, he said.

Staffing numbers in the budget proposal are about the same as this year, Doug Dalton, the district’s chief financial officer, told the budget board members.

“It’s about a wash,” he said. “We have had a lot or retirees and a lot of new hires. There’s been a lot of change, but the numbers are about the same."

Baker City’s annual Memorial Day commemoration will feature a new event this year.

But you had better not blink at the wrong time, lest you miss it.

An F-15 fighter jet from Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls is scheduled to fly over Mount Hope Cemetery about 12:15 p.m. on Memorial Day, May 28.

The Memorial Day ceremony will start at 11 a.m. at the cemetery.
