More than one and a half years after voters approved a capital projects and technology levy to help upgrade Washougal school buildings, the Washougal School District is moving forward with several facility improvement projects.
On Dec. 10, the Washougal School Board approved a recommendation to enter into a contract with R&C Management, a Yamhill, Oregon-based consulting firm, to supervise the process of completing the projects, including the construction of a new roof at Washougal High School.
- Replacing the roof and boiler, and upgrading heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) controls at Washougal High School (WHS);
- Adding Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA)-compliant door operators at Cape Horn-Skye, Gause and Hathaway elementary schools, and at Canyon Creek Middle School;
- Upgrading security systems and door access at WHS, Gause and Cape Horn-Skye elementary schools and Canyon Creek Middle School; and
- Replacing flooring at Gause and Hathaway elementary schools.
