I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge the catastrophic loss that some of our families, employees and community members suffered last week due to Hurricane Helene.
We know you are hurting, and we will do what we can to support you.
Thank you to all our employees, our community partners, our first responders for your efforts to keep our Pasco residents safe during the storm, and for all the help cleaning up and coming to aid all of our residents in the aftermath.
We had our employees away from their own families working in shelters and evaluating damages to our sites.
I want to thank the superintendent and his staff for keeping the board informed throughout the weekend.
This storm was devastating to our community and across several states as we know
I know we are all feeling the impacts and are concerned about everyone’s well-being.
As we get back to business today, let’s keep our students and our employees as well as all our Pasco residents at the forefront of our decisions – all the decisions we make as we always do.
