Larson said his union and school employees have been contacting elected officials and urged the Pasco County School Board to take action to ensure families and staff are aware of the status and potential impacts. He cited examples from nearby districts: Pinellas County is hosting a community forum about the federal funding freeze and Polk County’s superintendent sent communications to families and staff with contact guidance for elected officials.

Larson asked the board to consider steps to notify Pasco families and employees and to outline possible district responses. The board did not take formal action during the meeting on this request; Larson’s remarks were made during the public comment portion of the meeting and were referred to staff and the board for consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pasco County School Board Meeting- July 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A representative of the United School Employees of Pasco told the board some federal funds approved by Congress remain frozen and urged the board to inform families and staff and press elected officials.","taxTitle","Pasco, School Districts, Florida","taxId",14666,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6161343,"Pasco schools win $500,000 Bloomberg planning grant to design high‑school health care pathways",331,1970000,2301000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442194-c2f8f767659d639f6147a941109d4444&start=1970&end=2301","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442194-c2f8f767659d639f6147a941109d4444/thumbnail_1970000.jpg","/articles/6161343/Florida/Pasco-schools-win-500000-Bloomberg-planning-grant-to-design-highschool-health-care-pathways","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161343-c9383daa1f0e145900b58c3b931472ee/orig.mp4?Expires=1771120612&Signature=HGuefo0SYV~FefwFIKPQhwuTOP0JBa1KO6a8LuNXN5sG3yoTKncWHStNmOzD3Tz9pl~LBoajOpwAFdiZXKnu4d7qSBicdp5cJojTzgaSEhsipyIehJtds0UwmZ~k9wFeFYSRrL0mC-i4gmTlq3FFnJB~FxCCDJLSimFsI93h5wuLO6WE20ZClSEhiaqVZ~wMbd2ZB3qwX3V2Sg3sOC~cZY7ew3A5FpKH0JyczRtJzfRS2m7PtkE7nSv2i49ljrfqL84oNdJIktz3SHZd8pfkC-0CTUynITRUc9~j3H66XZgO2KyYltf65K49KZHxUGxYLw-UcNWuhFu1eArabDYYmg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Superintendent Legg announced that the Pasco Education Foundation has received a $500,000 planning grant from the Bloomberg Foundation to design high‑school health-care career pathways in Pasco County. AdventHealth and AdventHealth University also committed funds to support the planning phase, Superintendent Legg said, and the planning effort will be led by district staff and partners for approximately one year.

The planning grant funds are intended to create a proposal to compete for a larger implementation award estimated at about $25 million (roughly $5 million per year over five years) to develop career-connected learning programs that would prepare Pasco students for employment in the region’s growing health-care sector. \"We were awarded phase 1 of a grant from the Bloomberg Foundation for health care pathways,\" Legg said, adding that AdventHealth \"has agreed to step up and donate significant amount of money as well for the planning phase.\"

Legg framed the effort as a way to create local pathways to employment so the district’s graduating students are better prepared to fill health-care jobs that are expected to expand in the county. He described a planned workshop for late August or early September to present partners and the planning timeline to the board and community.

No formal board action was recorded on the grant announcement at the meeting; staff said they will convene partners and present planning details in a future workshop. Board members expressed support for the planning phase and said they look forward to details about program design and employer commitments.","Superintendent announced a $500,000 planning grant from the Bloomberg Foundation to the Pasco Education Foundation and additional support from AdventHealth to design health-care career pathways; the district will pursue a potential $25 million implementation grant.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6161346,"Pasco school board approves sale of former Gulf High property to New Port Richey, 4-1",1352,1547000,2899000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5442194-c2f8f767659d639f6147a941109d4444&start=1547&end=2899","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5442194-c2f8f767659d639f6147a941109d4444/thumbnail_1547000.jpg","/articles/6161346/Florida/Pasco-school-board-approves-sale-of-former-Gulf-High-property-to-New-Port-Richey-4-1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6161346-271e5197fe4a753aa3d8ae99586eb3a6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771120612&Signature=DvsvIkOlwdsxrMUiWUZdGxDjKtK-4SpgMt50vS6qyWZa7sK3V8tDvC8dOqXazDNxyvkrjQy-iFNbIvnlsiwWsmWXFd5A-GmfVA1OJE1W8u2sGH1Mj8yKTB4YgwvuKRPNkFR238Uv1m1ZzxKybapciMuzggMYVjZB~Hk44PhD5dPS6xMS7gFf5SCUfe4gYLY5KmnLEUFlulF~i6rHAf6UT4JX~35SPUIIcGVLNRQWKY7MMsRSj3XRmGPHjOxCvtj4l2cm0UM~W99SuxnmiwXZOZsyVWZGI3~KBHZ7OG7BSjPV7MQqwVupfkviOkqxstGOzZZWTxAuVfDe3cGqswYEsw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pasco County School Board approved a purchase-and-sale agreement for the former Gulf High School property in New Port Richey on a 4-1 vote. School Board Member Wright moved to approve the agreement; School Board Member Hernandez seconded the motion, and the motion carried 4 to 1.

The agreement includes a restrictive covenant that limits future uses of the property for a 25-year period, a profit‑sharing provision that obligates the purchaser to share net proceeds with the district if the property is resold within a set period, and explicit language intended to prevent multifamily housing as a permitted use. City Manager Debbie Manns told the board the New Port Richey Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) will lead a community visioning process and plans to rely on CRA funds to finance preservation work. \"We will hold a visioning session with the SOS group in the lead,\" Manns said, and added the CRA will plan for the ultimate use of the property and use redevelopment funds to preserve the building and grounds.

Supporters who addressed the board said they want the property preserved as a community and educational resource. Bevah Stevenson Carey, representing the SOS 1922 GHS alumni group, urged the board to protect the site and called it a local \"jewel\" that could \"promote a sense of belonging\" and serve countywide educational, recreational and cultural needs.

Board members described lengthy negotiations with the city and said the agreement reflects efforts to protect the district's interest while enabling a local preservation plan. School Board Member Beaudoin said the sale would remove a costly maintenance burden from district books while creating an opportunity for the city to develop the site for public use; Beaudoin noted the covenant and profit‑sharing language as protections negotiated into the deal. One board member expressed reservations about the city’s commitments and media reports, saying they were not fully confident the protections would be honored absent continued oversight.

Discussion and direction: board members and city staff discussed that the CRA would facilitate community engagement and that the purchaser must take \"reasonable steps\" to preserve the building. Legal protections spelled out in the agreement include a covenant running with the property and staged profit‑sharing amounts that decrease over time if the purchaser resells the property within successive years; the district attorney referenced an addendum (Exhibit C) containing those restrictions.

Formal action: the board approved the purchase-and-sale agreement (motion by School Board Member Wright; second by School Board Member Hernandez). The record shows the vote tally as yes 4, no 1; the transcript does not record the individual names tied to each yes/no vote. The item passed and will proceed under the terms of the executed agreement.

The board chair and staff said they appreciated the time taken to craft the agreement and thanked community members and city negotiators for extended negotiations. The CRA’s planned visioning session and the agreement’s preservation provisions are the next steps noted by city staff and community representatives.","The Pasco County School Board approved a purchase-and-sale agreement for the former Gulf High School property in New Port Richey, including a 25-year restrictive covenant, a profit‑sharing clause if the city resells, and a city-led visioning process to preserve the site.","actionData","errors"]
