Pasadena ISD board approves administrative personnel and names new principals

The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees approved administrative personnel items and publicly recognized recently named school leaders at a May 7 special session.

Trustee Casey Phelan called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.; the board reconvened in open session at 5:31 p.m. after a closed executive session on personnel matters. A motion to "approve addenda pages A through E" — which contained administrative personnel items — was recorded by the chair as moved by Vicky Morgan and seconded by Marshall Kendrick; the board voted in favor and the chair said, "Motion carries." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally.

The board announced and congratulated the employees named for new assignments. The board said Anitra Bradford was named counselor at Kendrick Middle School; Irene Everett was identified as coordinator of programming and instruction, speech/special education; an administrator identified as Erica was named principal of Jensen Elementary; Bridal Moreno (transcript spelling) was named to an administrative position; Chris Ponce was named principal at Frasier Elementary; and Catalina Rangel was named principal at Pomeroy Elementary. Family members were acknowledged in the audience during the recognitions.

The items were considered under the board's personnel authority and the meeting record shows the board followed the Texas Open Meetings Act procedures. The board adjourned at 5:40 p.m.

The transcript of the meeting does not specify personnel contract details (salaries, effective dates) for the listed appointments; those details were not provided on the record and are therefore not reported here.
