The second time may be a charm for the Washougal School District’s replacement levies. 

Preliminary election results updated at 8:17 p.m. Tuesday, April 25, show the school district’s largest levy — the three-year educational programs and operations (EPO) levy that funds student learning and staffing and operations costs not covered by the state, as well as athletics programs, health and safety needs and instructional support — is passing by 14 percentage points with 2,857 “yes” votes (57.22%) and 2,136 “no” votes (42.78%).
