# Washougal Board Meeting August 25, 2026

The Washougal School Board held a public hearing and board meeting on August 25, 2026, to consider the district’s 2026–27 budget. The board approved the budget by motion and vote. The presentation projected approximately $53 million in general-fund revenue, $55 million in expenditures, and an ending fund balance at the board’s 8% goal. It also showed $3.5 million in state maintenance-and-operating funding and $6.2 million budgeted for operating costs. The capital projects fund reflects potential spending across the capital facilities plan, but the district clarified that this does not mean all listed purchases are planned. The transportation vehicle fund includes two small buses on order, with delivery expected around February; one had been received, and the next was expected to have wheelchair access.

The board also approved an architect selection after a firm-interview process; the firm was not named in the transcript, and contract negotiations are expected later. Members asked when projects might go out to bid, but no specific schedule or bid approval was recorded. The board additionally approved Resolution 2526-13, described as a declaration of service, and Policy 2124. The district reported that certificated staff had ratified a three-year contract, without discussion of financial terms.
