Washougal teachers ratify 3-year contract

Board of Directors will adopt new agreement at Sept. 11 board meeting

Washougal teachers overwhelmingly approved a new three-year contract on Thursday.

The new agreement came after negotiations between the Washougal Association of Educators and the School District.

"I am very pleased with the negotiation process," said Dawn Tarzian, district superintendent. "It is important and we have learned a lot, and reached an agreement that the association, board and administrators can feel good about."

"Washougal teachers feel that this was an equitable contract, given the current economy," said Sheila Good, WAE co-president.
