After working more than three months without a contract, classified employees in the Washougal School District have ratified a two-year contract.

The 2017-2019 contract, approved by the district this week and ratified by the Washougal chapter of the Public School Employees association on Nov. 27, gives a 5-percent salary increase to the school district’s non-educator employees, which include bus drivers, cafeteria workers, para-educators, library assistants, bus mechanics, custodians, speech and language assistants, groundskeepers, secretaries and many other support positions.
