Olympia School District Budget

Thank you for visiting our budget information page.  As you may have read, the State Legislature passed a two-year budget for 2009-2011 that contained significant cuts for school districts and public school employees.  To provide some perspective, more than 70% of the funds for our District come from the state of Washington. 

The budget approved by the 2009 Legislature will mean $3 million less for the District next year and will also eliminate cost-of-living adjustments for all of our employees for the next two years.  When you include increased revenues from the federal government and local levy collections, the Olympia School District will face a $2 million budget shortfall for 2009-2010. 

Despite this shortfall, the Olympia School District has proposed a budget that protects the classroom, retains teachers and continues implementation of the 2008-2012 Strategic Plan.
