Every year in December, the Olympia School Board elects officers for the coming year during its annual reorganization. ​ At its December 11, 2025, meeting, the board elected Jess Tourtellotte-Palumbo as this year’s board president and Maria Flores as vice president. ​ Tourtellotte-Palumbo administered the oath of office to newly elected board members Renee Fullerton and Gilbert Lamont. Superintendent Patrick Murphy, Director Seidel and President Tourtellotte-Palumbo thanked Scott Clifthorne and Darcy Huffman for their service on the school board.

All Olympia School District schools and the Knox 111 Administrative Center offices will be closed to the public throughout Winter Break.

Friends, family and the public are invited to attend our Olympia School District 2025 holiday concerts.

The Olympia School Board has unanimously agreed to place a Technology, Safety and Facility Improvement Replacement Levy proposal before voters on the February 10, 2026, Special Election ballot. The proposed replacement levy is not a new tax. It would replace an expiring four-year technology and safety levy approved by voters in February 2022. The levy would raise an estimated $72.9 million over a four-year period (2027-2030).

At Olympia School District, we are dedicated to fostering a learning environment that is safe, welcoming and equitable for every student. ​ We understand that changes in federal education policy—such as shifts in staffing—can profoundly affect our most vulnerable students and families. Despite these developments, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing vital supports and protections. Following the U.S. Department of Education’s recent layoffs impacting staff who serve high-need student populations, State Superintendent Chris Reykdal shared the following statement.

We are excited to share that our new student information system, Skyward Qmlativ, is now live! Qmlativ will serve as the district’s hub for student information, including enrollment, grades, schedules and more.
