Olympia School District

On September 28, 2023, the Olympia School Board approved a charter calling for the creation of a School Safety Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC). The committee is projected to meet throughout October 2023. Its purpose is two-fold: To assist the superintendent in crafting procedures to accompany Policy 4311 that will guide and inform any formal partnership with the school district and the City of Olympia. To assist the superintendent in crafting a draft Memorandum of Understanding to serve as the springboard for any negotiation between the district and the City of Olympia for any future school/external staff.

The Olympia School District Board of Directors has scheduled a board work session at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 30, 2023 livestream and in-person in the Boardroom. The session will be devoted to discussing the written report provided by the School Facility Efficiency Review Facilitator Shannon Bingham.

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.

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.
