The Washougal School District is preparing to cut between six and 10 positions in an effort to reduce a $1.5 million budget deficit for the 2025-26 school year.

The district is proposing to eliminate one or two administrative positions and five to eight certificated positions, in addition to reducing work hours for certain administrative and support staff members and up to six additional classified positions, according to a document presented to the Washougal school board during its April 8 meeting.
