October 27, 2026 | Board Meeting

The Pasco School District Board meeting on October 27, 2026, included unanimous approval of the consent agenda, which covered personnel, warrants, a reorganized collective bargaining agreement, 2026–27 school improvement plans, and out-of-state/overnight travel to Ogden, Utah. No contract awards, bid approvals, vendor selections, or specific procurement amounts were reported. Public commenters asked the district to help cover transportation between Pasco and Seattle, chaperone costs, and substitute coverage for students participating in a Japanese government-funded exchange program; the board noted it could not guarantee funding and directed commenters to district administrators. A commenter also requested district-provided CPR and first-aid training for elementary staff, but no action or spending decision was taken.

The board received a presentation on the district’s drinking-water testing program. Officials reported that about 97% of sampled fixtures met the applicable standard and that identified corrective actions had been completed; possible remediation methods include fixture or plumbing-component replacement, filtration, and larger plumbing modifications. The district’s next testing cycle is scheduled to begin in 2028. These were program updates, not approvals of purchases or contracts. No procurement activity beyond the consent agenda’s general approval of warrants was identified.
