The replacement educational levies for the Washougal School District are a hot topic. Criticisms of the district as “failing” the kids, or the kids as “lazy, entitled, unskilled and unwilling to learn” are simply not true. The schools and kids are working hard to overcome two years of disruptive pandemic. “For the 2023 school year … Washougal School District … average testing ranking is 9/10 … in the top 20 percent of public schools in Washington” (Public School Review). Vote “yes” on levies, ensuring schools have the resources they need to provide our kids with a good educational start in life.
