Pasco County School Board Workshop- July 21, 2026

The Pasco County School Board held a budget workshop on July 21, 2026, focusing primarily on the district's general fund and capital improvement plans. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation of the tentative balanced budget, which showed a slight increase in the general fund due to additional revenues for charter schools and salary support programs. The board reviewed staffing allocations, noting a decrease overall but an increase in special education staffing due to rising needs. Capital projects highlighted included ongoing renovations and new school constructions, with funding sources such as impact fees, Penny for Pasco collections, and millage revenues detailed. The board also discussed the planned purchase of 28 buses to phase out leasing and a $9 million computer budget for a one-to-one pilot program. The tentative budget book was to be posted shortly for public review, and the board emphasized maintaining a 5% fund balance reserve as required by policy.
