Olympia School District

Governor Inslee is deeply saddened by the death of Spokane Valley Firefighter Dan Patterson, 53, and has directed that Washington State and United States flags at all state agencies, including schools and support buildings, be lowered to half-staff in his memory on Friday, August 12, 2022.

Olympia School District students and staff who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, or have been exposed to someone with the virus, may be tested for free at a drive-through COVID-19 testing site at the Capital Region Education Service District 113 (ESD 113).

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.

The Olympia School District is part of a regional group, including some other Thurston County school districts, that is in the beginning stages of exploring the concept of a balanced calendar. More information will be shared with the community in January, as well as opportunities for input.

The Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) has received a public records request that seeks information about all members of the state’s retirement systems, including all retirees and members, for the period of July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021. The requesting organization is The Seattle Times. All of the information in this Announcement is also posted on the DRS website.
