The Washougal School District (WSD) is planning to reduce Superintendent Mary Templeton’s compensation package by almost $21,000 as part of its efforts to address a $3 million budget shortfall.

Templeton “has volunteered” to reduce her base salary by $7,200 for the 2024-25 school year, according to Les Brown, the district’s director of communications and technology. She will also concede some “vacation buy-back,” resulting in a compensation decrease of $5,906, and waive a contractual salary increase and inflation adjustment, resulting in additional savings of $7,792, he said.
