The Olympia School District is seeking public input on its 2026-27 budget through an online survey open until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 3, 2026. The survey is estimated to take five minutes to complete, and results will be presented to the Olympia School Board in April 2026.
The district is building next year's budget under financial pressure from declining enrollment, rising costs, and the end of federal relief funding. Budget documents available on the district's website include February 2026 enrollment figures, staffing data, and enrollment projections for the coming school year.
The district's Board of Directors adopted its 2026 legislative priorities in January, calling on the state Legislature to protect core school funding and give districts greater flexibility to manage costs. The board stated that today's financial environment makes those measures the most helpful steps lawmakers can take.
