The Camas Education Association has voted to participate in a planned one day walkout on Wednesday, May 13, in protest against the state Legislature for failing to fully fund K-12 education and keep class sizes smaller, among other issues.
Earlier this week, the Washougal Association of Educators also voted to participate in the walkout.
As a result, neither the Washougal or Camas school districts will hold regular classes at any school, which will cause the districts to extend the school year by one day to meet the state requirement of 180 school days.
The last day of school for students will now be Tuesday, June 16 instead of June 15. June 15 will now be a regular school day.
Leaders from both unions have emphasized that the work stoppage is not directed at the school districts.
