Bill Osterndorf stepped down as president Nov. 21, and will not seek re-election to the board this spring.
Updated: 1:50 p.m. Nov. 30 The Whitnall School Board has a new president, and come this spring, it will have at least one new member. Bill Osterndorf, one of two incumbents whose terms are set to expire in April, has filed his non-candidacy papers and will not seek re-election for a third term.

Based on an unaudited report of numbers affecting the budget through June, the Whitnall School District would gather $25.1 million in revenue while incurring expenses of $22.8 million in the coming school year. The report listed unaudited revenue for the previous school year of 2010-2011 as ending at $26.6 million compared to revenue of $23.9 million, a surplus of $2.7 million. “I don’t know if you classify it as over-levying or under-spending,” said interim business manager Douglas Johnson at Monday's school board meeting.
