WSD sets town hall facilities review meeting
Local residents are invited to help shape the future of the Washougal School District.
There will be a town-hall style meeting to discuss the district’s long range facilities plans. The meeting is set for Thursday, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Washougal High School Commons, 1201 39th St.
The Long Range Facility Planning Committee, consisting of community members and staff with expertise in school facilities, will be sharing data they’ve collected about school buildings and other facilities.
Participants will hear the findings of the six-month review process, and be able to provide input and feedback to the facilities planning group before recommendations are made to the school board in June.
During the review process, committee members surveyed all school buildings, grounds and supporting infrastructure. They also developed criteria for ranking facility project needs.
