# October 13, 2026 | Board Meeting

Pasco School District Board meeting, October 13, 2026. The board unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included personnel matters, warrants, conditional certificates and permits, and student travel requests; no specific contract awards, purchases, or dollar amounts were presented. Idaho Central Credit Union provided mugs and $10 Dutch Bros gift cards for principals and assistant principals as a recognition donation. The board also heard a report on the district’s Aspiring Leadership Academy, including its development of internal candidates for school leadership roles, and received an update that remaining school improvement plans would come to a future consent agenda; some plans had previously been approved for grant-recipient schools.

Public commenters raised concerns about late master-schedule changes and staffing at Stevens Middle School, including special-education workload and alleged contract violations, and advocated for later high-school start times, additional mental-health supports, and a second nurse at Pasco High School. Student representatives identified department funding priorities, AI-generated announcements, crosswalk monitoring, and mental-health awareness as topics for future discussion. The board also discussed community feedback on a request to name Pasco High School’s main gym after Coach Don Monson, with a committee recommendation expected in December or January. No procurement activity was identified.
