Roundup: Pasco board approves expulsion, COP refunding, and authorizes appeal process; adopts Artemis 2 resolution
Summary
The board approved an expulsion, adopted an Artemis 2 resolution as an off‑agenda item, approved Certificates of Participation refunding, and authorized the chair to act on an employee termination appeal; the consent agenda (except item 12.5) also passed.
At its April 2026 meeting the Pasco County School Board took several procedural and financial actions alongside the major policy debates.
Disciplinary action: The board approved staff’s recommendation to expel a male student (DOB 01/03/2014) from Pasco Elementary School; the motion was moved and seconded and carried unanimously.
Off‑agenda recognition: The board accepted and adopted an off‑agenda resolution celebrating NASA’s Artemis 2 mission and reaffirming the district’s commitment to STEM education; the item was added because the mission splashdown occurred after the agenda was posted.
Finance and leasing: During the Pasco County School Board Leasing Corporation meeting the board approved minutes and authorized issuance of Certificates of Participation (Series 2026A) to refund portions of outstanding COPs (Series 2013A, 2015A, 2016A). Financial staff and counsel were present to answer questions; motions carried.
Appeal authorization: Legal counsel notified the board of an employee termination appeal (Marshall McDougall matter) and, by unanimous consent, the board authorized the chair to execute necessary orders and appointed general counsel as facilitator for the appeal.
Consent agenda: The consent agenda (with item 12.5 pulled for separate discussion) was approved by voice vote earlier in the meeting.
