Take a few minutes for this survey please :)

We encourage all Olympia School District students, staff, families and community members to take the 2025-26 Budget Planning Survey. The survey is estimated to take five minutes to complete and is open until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 31, 2025. The results will be shared with the Olympia School Board in April 2025.

If you don’t want OSD to close schools - please consider taking this short/fast survey and giving feedback on policy 6883 - closure of facilities - suggest they don’t remove the requirement for a defined 90 day wait period.

A student enrollment count will be conducted by ALL SCHOOLS
in the Olympia School District on October 1st.

The data collected is used by OSD to aid in building the district budget for school year 2025-2026. Doing our best to prevent absenteeism on October 1st will help ensure that our district is making the most accurate projections for enrollment figures.

Just to keep everyone informed. OSD revised a policy to make it easier to close schools by removing the 90 day wait period. They vote on this revision on 9/26. Sign up for public comment here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfZhQ8P6TCuHqnqhDE38LJ8KW16RRIJl5j_0KW-DpA2pCoMTg/closedform

Hopefully you have gotten an email from OSD or a Parent Square message regarding the open comment period for us to give feedback regarding proposed changes to OSD policies in the 6000 series.

POLICY 6883 was broken by the Olympia School District Board in 2024, and they are looking to make this policy to become less specific in the analysis they provide and the community engagement ahead of the 90 day decision period. The comment period for policy changes is open.

For those interested in hearing about the OSD budget - schools may not have closed - but the how the funding is spent is always worthwhile for the community to be informed about!

There is a $596K deficit for our district related tk timber revenue.

There is also talk from OSD board members in a recent meeting regarding redistributing some of our levy funds to other communities like Yelm, where levies did not pass.
