Olympia School District

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.

The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) recently published the Safety Study Hall website, a place for schools, students, and families to learn more about safety topics. Additional information about the site can be found below, including the House Bill 1230 content and links to state laws that provide schools, school districts, and educational service districts with direction on their next steps. If you have questions regarding the information below, please don’t hesitate to reach out to their team at [email protected].

During high-risk wildfire weather conditions, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) will take proactive steps to ensure safety while balancing the reliable delivery of energy to our communities. One tool PSE may use is temporarily shutting off power lines to help prevent wildfires from starting. This is called a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS), and it’s a measure of last resort to keep you and your community safe. If you or your family have home medical equipment that relies on electricity, please contact PSE Customer Care at 1-888-225-5773 for details about the Medical Life Support Program.
