August 25, 2026 | Study Session

The Pasco School District held a study session on August 25, 2026, focusing primarily on two topics: the review of elementary school attendance zones and the process for naming a district facility. The district staff presented a plan to narrowly review attendance boundaries to improve transportation efficiency and better align students with schools within walking distance, emphasizing stakeholder engagement and data-driven decision-making. The board discussed the timeline and framework for this boundary review, aiming to finalize recommendations by mid-2027. Additionally, the board reviewed the policy and proposed process for considering a community request to name the main gym at Pasco High School after Coach Monson. A committee will be convened to evaluate the request based on established criteria, gather stakeholder input through surveys and listening sessions, and provide a recommendation to the board by early 2027. No immediate board action was taken, but the process and committee composition were outlined for future deliberation.
