PASADENA ISD Meeting of the Board of Trustees 7/28/26

The Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees meeting on July 28, 2026, included several procurement and facilities matters. The board approved the adoption of prevailing wage rates for PISD facilities projects, based on contractor surveys and intended as minimum rates. PBK presented a districtwide facilities-condition assessment covering 66 facilities; the assessment is intended to inform future maintenance, renovation, and long-range facilities planning, rather than approve specific projects. The board also approved multiple 2022 bond project items, including furniture, fixtures, and equipment funding for the new Williams Elementary replacement project and allowance adjustments for the new Parks Elementary project. Approved items included a $25,200 credit and a $26,360 authorization; another project package reflected a credit of approximately $123,800, attributed to reducing work at three schools and potentially revisiting it later. The transcript also records a $47,302.40 plumbing-upgrade authorization for San Jacinto (transcribed as “San Raburn”) High School, but does not capture the final vote on that item.

Other approved items included a $39,920 University of Houston–Clear Lake practicum agreement for two BCBA graduate assistants, a $40,000 Pathways to Career regional expansion subgrant, and agreements supporting internships and externships. The board also approved a 2026–2027 Communities In Schools arrangement with funding identified as $31,000 in district local funds, $282,000 in federal funds, and $56,000 in campus contributions. The meeting further included approval of a new Air Force JROTC unit at Pasadena Memorial High School, planned for the 2027–2028 school year; no procurement amount was specified for the program. Motions on the recorded agenda items generally carried, including the prevailing-wage adoption and bond items for which votes are captured.
