The Washougal School Board meeting on October 13, 2026, included updates on capital projects and the ongoing school consolidation and modernization review. District leaders reported discussions with Hathaway staff, the state’s School Construction Assistance Program (SCAP), architectural firm BRIC, and city representatives about building conditions, demographics, and potential funding for future construction. No consolidation or construction decision was made; the board emphasized that the review is ongoing and scheduled additional staff discussions and a public hearing for November 12. Members discussed the need to share information and hear community input, while noting declining enrollment and long-term financial pressures.

The board also revisited student-athlete accident insurance.

No new procurement vote or award was identified at this meeting. Other discussion covered student programs and achievement, attendance, AI and cell-phone guidance, and district activities.
