This is a summary of the Pasco School District Board Meeting on September 26, 2023.

John Steach, CEO of the Center for Educational Effectiveness, delivered a presentation on growth monitoring data reports related to the district's Outrageous Outcomes during a study session.

Following the presentation, board members deliberated on how they wanted these reports to be presented. They considered two options: a detailed report providing comprehensive explanations of benchmarks, targets, stretch targets, and indicators, or a PowerPoint (PPT) format presentation. Ultimately, the board decided to go with the PPT format for presenting the data, with the addition of a summary report.
