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.

Please take a moment and give feedback regarding 6883 specifically. The proposed changes will make it easier for the board to close schools in the future. McKenny Hawks PTO Madison Elementary Parent Teacher Organization WMS PTO

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.

The Olympia School District Board of Directors has scheduled a Public Hearing, pertaining to the 2024-2025 budget, on Thursday, June 27, 2024, livestream via Zoom and in-person in the boardroom. Visit the link below for more information or to join the livestream.
