Olympia School District

The Olympia School District recently conducted a re-examination of its future enrollment expectations, and new forecasting suggests that the district will decline in enrollment in the years to come. As it strives to maintain its high level of service to children and families, the school board is seeking advice from its constituents regarding this challenge.

A survey link was shared at the end of a Zoom informational meeting on September 11 for Capital High School families. A link to that meeting is included below. The meeting was about safety at CHS and the response to two weapons incidents on Wednesday, September 6 and Monday, September 11.

The Olympia School District Board of Directors has scheduled a regular board meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 28, 2023 livestream and in-person in the boardroom. Building hours are from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday - Thursday. Doors will reopen at 6:20 p.m. for the meeting.

The Olympia School District will face funding shortfalls in the 2023-24 school year and beyond. The shortfalls are caused, in part, by long-term structural inequitable funding mechanisms (Regionalization, Staff Mix, low state salary allocations) and underfunded state or federal requirements (Special Education, Health Care, K-3 class size).

The Olympia School District is committed to creating an equitable school district that serves ALL students well. As part of that commitment, the district is developing and implementing an Equity Policy that will include procedures and accountability measures. The policy will be collaboratively designed with the community to ensure a more inclusive school and work culture that promotes equity and addresses systemic and institutional barriers that have historically marginalized students, staff and families.
