The Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees recorded a series of approvals and one formal denial at its June 23, 2026 meeting.
Key approvals included the consent agenda and multiple personnel appointments; a third‑year contract renewal with Gallagher Benefits Services for employee benefits consulting; construction and capital‑project contracts including Affordable Floors ($855,875) and ICI Construction ($2,162,000); final change order #001 for a 2022 bond HVAC replacement ($194,331.17); allowance expenditure authorizations for transportation and the softball complex; and an engagement agreement for legal services with the law offices of Randall P. Gunther PC. Trustees also approved the district’s Optional Flexible School Day Program application for 2026–27 and a student orchestra trip to Orlando (approx. $2,310 per student, funded by students/parents).
During the operational section trustees approved various budget amendments for May and June 2026 and adopted the proposed 2026–27 budget. The board approved a GASB 54 fund balance resolution.
The board took real‑property action to convey a storm‑sewer easement for $10 to 777 Houston Group LLC to support nearby duplex development and set the date for the next regular meeting for July 28, 2026 at 5:30 p.m.
In a formal level‑three grievance hearing reconvened late in the meeting, trustee Crystal Davala moved “to deny Miss Brown’s level three appeal and oppose the level two decision in its entirety.” The motion was seconded by Marshall Kendrick and passed unanimously; the board instructed that Miss Donna Brown and Mr. Ramirez would receive written confirmation of the decision.
Votes and procedures: most motions were adopted by voice votes recorded as in favor with the phrase “I” and “Motion carries.” The denial of the level‑three appeal was recorded as a 6–0 vote by the six trustees present.
What this means: multiple routine operational and capital items were advanced through board approval. The unanimous denial of the employee grievance represents the board’s final written action on that appeal; the parties will receive written notice.
