Washougal School District pushes for equity in classrooms

Aaron Hansen knows the Washougal School District can no longer wait to improve its equity policies. He’s reminded of that fact every time he watches or reads a news report about racism, police brutality and social injustice in the United States.

“We know things have been happening in this country for hundreds of years,” said Hansen, WSD’s assistant superintendent of human resources and student services. “For myself personally, seeing these events occurring in society, it’s so clear to me now that we have to act. We just have to act.”
