Officials in the Washougal School District leaders say they realize the COVID-19 pandemic is taking a toll not just on students and families, but also on their own teachers and staff.
“There has been a lot of stress for everybody, me included,” Washougal schools superintendent Mary Templeton said during the Washougal School Board’s Aug. 24 meeting. “Our teachers and staff and adults in our system have been under a tremendous amount of strain and stress and pressure in the last year and a half. This has not been an easy task.”
