Sports and clubs on the line in Washougal and Woodland school districts. School sports and clubs hang in the balance in two Southwest Washington school districts as voters decide on tax levies in April. The 2023-24 budget reduction plan for the Washougal School District calls for eliminating 244 staff positions to make up for revenue declines if the district’s levy fails. Among the cuts are all 155 sports coaches and club advisers. The Woodland district may also eliminate middle school sports and bus transportation for high school teams if its levy fails.

Gresham, OR

The Oregon Health Authority has denied the Legacy hospital system’s request to close its Gresham-based birthing center. Since March 17, anyone showing up at Legacy Mount Hood Hospital in the throes of labor could not expect to deliver their baby there. Citing a lack of sufficient medical staff to safely deliver babies at the small hospital, Legacy officials had effectively closed the birthing center.
