Summary
The board honored students from district high schools at the ESD 123 regional art show, recognized Education Support Professionals Week, and unanimously approved the March 11 minutes and a multi‑item consent agenda including travel, construction change orders and the capital facilities plan.
The Pasco School Board recognized student winners from the Educational Service District 123 regional art show and celebrated Education Support Professionals Week before taking routine votes.
Claudia Serrano, principal of Longfellow Elementary School, introduced Longfellow's ASB students and led the flag salute. Assistant Superintendent Tensmeier (spelled in transcript) and Superintendent Michelle Whitney presented framed artwork to winners from Chiawana and Pasco high schools, including a $2,000 scholarship winner from Central Washington University. Whitney thanked students and staff for their work and highlighted the variety of awards, including superintendent choice and judges' choice recognitions.
The board also marked Education Support Professionals Week and presented artwork to district classified and maintenance representatives; unions identified in comments included IUE Local 280 and Teamsters Local 839. Board members thanked custodians, paraeducators, nutrition staff and transportation employees for their daily contributions.
On routine business the board approved minutes from the regular meeting on March 11, 2025. Later the board considered a consent agenda that included personnel warrants, approval of drinking water reports and action plans for multiple elementary schools, multiple out‑of‑state and overnight student trips (including Chiawana DECA to Orlando), construction change orders for Orion and Sageview projects, and approval of the 2025–2031 capital facilities plan. A board member moved to accept the consent agenda and a second was voiced; the roll‑call vote was unanimous and the motion passed.
