Washougal School District EPO Levy & Capital Levy Passing In Preliminary Results (Photo) - 02/11/26

Preliminary results from the Special Election show both Washougal school levies passing, with the EPO at passing at 58.46% and the capital levy at 58.12% as of 8:00 p.m. on February 10.  Thank you, Washougal voters, for your support! 

Superintendent Aaron Hansen said, “I am incredibly grateful for the trust the Washougal community has shown in approving our renewal levies. We are committed to being good stewards of these voter-approved funds.” He added, “We will use the budget priorities our students, families, community and staff have shared with the board to guide the projects and investments we make, and continue to share with the public the progress we make as we invest these resources to improve learning for our students.”

Board president Sadie McKenzie shared, “We are so thankful for your continued trust and investment in our students, our schools, and our communities' future. There are so many amazing and exciting things happening in our schools thanks to amazing family and volunteer support.”

Conversations that have taken place at our board listening tours have been greatly appreciated. These one-on-one discussions promote healthy dialogue, and help bring community members to the table. We believe that by listening and seeking feedback, we can continue to improve. We invite everyone to the next one on March 10 at the Gateway Church from 9-10:30 AM.

These important funding measures continue student program support for the next three years, and help protect our investment in school facilities by keeping our buildings well maintained.

Local levy funding supports much of the important work that the state doesn’t fully fund. The Washougal community has stepped up once again to bridge the gap between what we receive from the state in basic funding and what is needed to provide excellent school programs that engage every student.
