September 22, 2026 | Study Session

The Pasco School District held a study session on September 22, 2026, focused primarily on reviewing and refining their strategic plan's data reporting and progress monitoring framework. The discussion centered on how the district presents data related to student achievement benchmarks, such as third grade reading and algebra proficiency, using a new tiered statistical significance model to better interpret trends and improvements. Board members requested clearer indicators of statistical significance in reports, including simple asterisks to denote significant results, and asked for explanations of anomalies or large data swings to inform continuous improvement efforts. The district staff committed to incorporating these clarifications and providing more detailed analysis where possible. While the session was largely focused on data presentation and educational outcomes, no specific procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were discussed during this meeting.
