Council and district discuss CTE internships, library bookmobile and a potential Discovery Center
Summary
Officials discussed expanding CTE internships (diesel, construction), library bookmobile partnerships to improve literacy and a proposed Discovery Center to provide hands-on learning and bridge workforce needs tied to regional growth.
Council members and Pasco Schools deputies discussed potential partnerships to support workforce development and literacy. Deputy Superintendent Monica Iles said the district is seeking more CTE internship opportunities, currently focusing on transportation-diesel trades and looking to expand into construction and other hands-on courses.
Council members and city staff described existing library programs (a renovated library and a volunteer-run bookmobile) and advocated further collaboration to put books into students' hands and connect students to local events and workforce pathways. A proposed Discovery Center drew positive attention as a venue for interactive learning and partnerships between city and district programs.
