Show Notes
Olympia School District faces a decline in enrollment, projecting 8,824 full-time equivalent students for the 2026-2027 school year, a drop of 100 students from the current average. Elementary schools anticipate 3,602 students, down 46, while secondary levels expect 5,222, a decline of 54. Since 2019, the district has lost 777 students, with the steepest drops in elementary grades. This trend impacts funding, as state money follows enrollment counts, leading to tighter budgets and a $3.13 million loan to bridge short-term cash gaps.
