Mr. Williams, who led the presentation, said the district maintains a rolling 10‑year plan and uses the first year as the foundation for the capital budget. Major projects for the coming year include a full remodel of Cypress Elementary, construction work at Gulf Middle School, a gymnasium at Kirkland Ranch K‑8 and a classroom wing and cafeteria expansion at Pasco High School. Williams said the district also plans furniture refreshes at several campuses and completion of previously started projects, including Skybrook K‑8 and West Zephyrhills Elementary construction.

On revenue, staff projected that the 1.5‑mill capital outlay millage will generate about $94.5 million and that impact‑fee collections are projected at $58 million; staff said single‑family impact fees average about $9,300 per house. Penny for Pasco collections are projected to exceed $50 million in this first year of the current surtax. Miss Taylor noted about $26 million remains from the previous “penny” fund (penny 2) and that the district intends to apply remaining balances to penny‑3 projects where appropriate.

Williams and fiscal staff flagged two revenue pressures. House Bill 1259 requires districts to provide a share of capital‑mill revenue to charter schools; staff estimate current annual charter allocations start around $600,000 and could rise toward $900,000 as charter enrollment grows. Staff also noted state law changes could require surtax proceeds approved after July 1, 2025, to be shared with charter schools; under staff interpretation the district’s current penny‑3 funds approved before that cutoff are not affected for 15 years, but future ballot measures could change the treatment.

Staff described a mix of funding sources for capital projects (impact fees, the capital millage, Penny for Pasco surtax, PECO/state appropriation, grants and bond proceeds) and said construction costs and outstanding debt obligations limit available project capacity. Miss Taylor said the district is shifting away from equipment leasing for computers back to pay‑as‑you‑go and will advertise to replace 25 buses this year. She emphasized that the 10‑year plan is a living document and that only year‑one projects are committed; years two through nine are subject to change by enrollment, collections and legislative developments.

No formal board vote took place; staff said first‑year items will be included in the tentative capital budget presented at upcoming meetings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pasco County School Board Workshop- July 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","District staff reviewed a rolling 10‑year capital plan and first‑year capital budget priorities, reporting higher projected millage and surtax collections and noting legislative and charter funding impacts on capital revenue.","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},6176924,"Pasco board staff revise controlled open enrollment; adds behavior to revocation reasons and clarifies application, hardship and lottery rules",445,1458000,1903000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5342654-f6e8c7d47617f6f39beb3a821de69ba5&start=1458&end=1903","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5342654-f6e8c7d47617f6f39beb3a821de69ba5/thumbnail_1458000.jpg","/articles/6176924/Florida/Pasco-board-staff-revise-controlled-open-enrollment-adds-behavior-to-revocation-reasons-and-clarifies-application-hardship-and-lottery-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6176924-9ddb1451b6697d71145cc0951f263c08/orig.mp4?Expires=1771091897&Signature=TLZFMJzDcjVUZm3CktAywn13kCor8NieTIGTzIvk25vEiw~fq56n~B5DPQeaprzqe4MdS0flphAaxUb3rOagjnBrDzjWe9y82TRuPvaKifxCsDyy2puUShNgw9gxCDTW8fQlmMIefT8ayjVey6sgGjCL3utwdnFaK-yzE-rXTwStt9LIXUaXEcZ5-oP3yXdmbwELxdnlYR5G7khNmWvtLYL-DrOIDab3N~zQy96grR93lPQwah4Xku-uF~bb~uFuHUw6h4VUKaB0Bz-M4JEYMhHLHqYEaM7kFuvVRFuq9lsp5fCkLXcdzlJz2E2Q4kSl~~fgshUfrwsbPJ3XEc8SSQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pasco County School Board staff presented proposed updates to the district’s Controlled Open Enrollment Plan and the draft magnet plan, including procedural clarifications and a reinstated behavioral revocation ground.

Kristen Engle of the Office of Innovation, Advanced Studies and Choice said the draft clarifies how “capacity” is calculated, updates the treatment of shared campuses (noting Chasco Elementary and Chasco Middle School are now a single K‑8), and adds a mobile‑friendly option so parents can complete school‑choice applications on a smartphone. Engle told the board that application verifications and notifications are handled through the parent portal and email rather than separate written submissions.

The draft also explains lottery and preferential status for pre‑K applicants (continuity preference applies for pre‑K students seeking kindergarten) and clarifies wait‑list operations: if a student is accepted into a higher‑choice school, other pending choices on that application will be declined. Engle said the district aligned several components with guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.

Under the plan’s revocation section, Kendra Gurlitz said behavior was added back as a permissible reason an administrator may request revocation of a school‑choice placement. Gurlitz noted pending late legislative updates to the student code of conduct that could require additional edits to revocation language. She also said appeal hearing language was adjusted for consistency with the board‑approved student code of conduct.

Board members asked about how parents should submit concerns; the board was told that school‑choice issues may be sent via the district’s Let’s Talk platform and that Kristen Engle is the primary contact for school‑choice communications. Staff emphasized that parenting plans are accepted as supporting documentation but do not, by themselves, guarantee placement; only court orders carry binding legal placement directives.

No formal board actions were taken at the workshop; staff said the draft and accompanying magnet plan are in BoardDocs for board review and will be adjusted as needed to reflect any late legislative changes.","District staff presented updates to the controlled open enrollment and magnet plans, clarifying capacity definitions, lottery and wait‑list procedures, electronic application methods, and reinstating behavior as a ground for revoking school choice placements.",{"_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},6176928,"Pasco schools update student progression plan; clarifies promotion, IEP reporting and home‑education rules",945,43000,988000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5342654-f6e8c7d47617f6f39beb3a821de69ba5&start=43&end=988","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5342654-f6e8c7d47617f6f39beb3a821de69ba5/thumbnail_43000.jpg","/articles/6176928/Florida/Pasco-schools-update-student-progression-plan-clarifies-promotion-IEP-reporting-and-homeeducation-rules","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6176928-2d50107b25b4073bf2499524693bfe61/orig.mp4?Expires=1771091897&Signature=NhJkytRbfdPJ5biKb9UMzyNJtL6kUKX~-EshguKWuwNt9nbqShZUdNu-0O4fl-l366SdZpdQ5l7EIXPffZg43gHjXpZkoJ7n9G~DTf0TsaTONrXDyD4EpFweF6Kqfhol0f47eNntWk-zXzJmQRi5JAP4cYwRgLH8psmbr~xL-eX-kdXSwW4ivGDm~BPxLJWm98K2avmKc0LXtz8UbMriITSidJqRx6cJDy6j2Tg2c6JUIHwQ122Ucqm4JGr9uUyd6-iVA19DxkBsTkMKbx7jg1OgPcO27tVmZLCZdXgNNIW3WxOICSEG61wBO7mNhrxNx-oN5gud-zdGyJvlvfygRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pasco County School Board staff presented a revised Student Progression Plan during the district workshop, detailing changes that align the plan with current state law and refine school‑level practices for elementary, middle and high school students.

The revisions, which staff said are reflected in a summary of changes distributed to board members, include a new summer bridge requirement for pre‑K students who score below the 10th percentile on PM3; a clarified 45‑day timeline for progress monitoring that mirrors state statute; and a November 1 deadline for midyear promotion decisions that replaces earlier language referring to the “end of the first quarter.” Lisa Grimsley, principal of Double Branch Elementary, said, “it does say the time frame of 45 days,” and staff “were very explicit there.”

District staff said they also revised language to reflect that intensive reading interventions may be delivered by any staff member who holds the appropriate micro‑credential, not only classroom teachers. Grimsley said the elementary committee added “resiliency” to the curriculum, instruction and assessments section and streamlined references to unaccompanied youth to reflect age thresholds in statute. On progress monitoring plans (PMPs), school leaders said teams review gaps between students who qualify for a PMP and those actually placed on one during school intervention team meetings.

In middle‑ and high‑school sections, staff clarified credit‑earning attendance requirements for high‑school courses taken by middle‑school students: at least 135 hours for standard schedules or 120 hours under a block schedule. Danielle Hoy, speaking for middle‑school leaders, said changes replaced language that required “teacher recommendations” with language that now records “teacher input” when considering acceleration. Carrie Cadleb, executive director of high schools, explained several high‑school edits including removing repeated references to the “certificate of completion” throughout the document and changing transcript wording so completed courses are listed as “received.”

The plan also restates that students cannot be simultaneously enrolled full time in both eSchool and home education because that raises full‑time‑equivalent funding questions. Cadleb said, “they can use eSchool for their home education curriculum, but they're only enrolled in 1 school or the other.” The document clarifies that home‑education students may try out for sports at any school in the county and that parents will receive progress reports and IEP progress reports quarterly with report cards; Grimsley noted IEP progress reports will go home “with the report card every quarter.”

Board members asked operational questions during the presentation about how PMPs are tracked and whether processes are cumbersome for teachers and families. Grimsley and other school leaders described school intervention teams and PLCs as the local monitoring mechanism and said additional screeners are being used to target tiered supports.

The Student Progression Plan draft is accompanied by an internal NTSS guidebook that staff said will document alternative promotion pathways and other procedures.

Board members were not asked to take a vote at the workshop; staff said the summary and full draft are in the board packet and in BoardDocs for review. No formal motions were made during the presentation.","District staff presented revisions to the Student Progression Plan that align language with state statutes, change timelines for monitoring and promotion, clarify services for home‑educated students, and adjust how reading interventions and acceleration are documented.","actionData","errors"]
