Olympia School District

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Olympia School District No. 111, Thurston County, Washington (the “District”) supports legislative action at the state level as follows:

The Olympia School District is thankful for those who submitted applications to join the Long Range Facilities Master Planning Advisory Committee and grateful for the willingness and generosity of their time to contribute ideas about our facilities. The district is fortunate to have representation from across the district as well as the community in the applicant pool and a healthy number of individuals ready to engage in the process.

One of the Olympia School Board's responsibilities is to establish policies, which are essentially the governing documents by which the Olympia School District operates. Board-approved policies are based on laws and regulations. Procedures are developed by administrative staff to implement Board-adopted policies. ​ The Olympia School Board welcomes feedback about policies that are currently being reviewed by the Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC) - Policy Review. The Advisory Committee is made up of students, family members, staff and community members who are leading the work of the district policy review in preparation for adoption by the school board.

We are pleased that you are interested in enrolling in the Olympia School District. Enrollment is now open to all grade levels. You are encouraged to visit our student enrollment page to learn more about this process.

Olympia School District board meeting agendas are released for the next upcoming board meeting the Friday immediately preceding the board meeting. Minutes for the previous board meeting are approved at the next Board meeting and are published immediately thereafter.

The Olympia School District’s Language Access Plan affirms Board Policy 4217 and 4218 and their accompanying procedures, which support establishing effective, two-way communication between the school district and family members with limited English proficiency, and promote access for such families to programs, services and activities of the District.

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.
