2023-24 Budget Development
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).

UPDATE: Equity policy development
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.

Balanced Calendar Information
The Olympia School District is exploring the possibility of creating a more balanced school calendar. ​ Like a traditional calendar, a balanced calendar has the same number of school days (180). The difference is how the breaks are spread out. Instead of a calendar dominated by a very long summer break, students could have more periodic, longer breaks throughout the school year and a shorter summer break. ​ Learn more about the Balanced Calendar work to date, including links to spring 2022 Balanced Calendar survey results, committee meeting summaries, research, and frequently asked questions on the Balanced Calendar webpage.
