\"I ran for treasurer of HOSA and I got it,\" student Ariel McGrew told the board. She said she gave the group her contact information, attempted to attend the Aug. 20 introductory meeting but arrived late because of college classes, and later learned the group had chosen a new treasurer without notifying her. \"I was really scared to be in her classroom with her,\" McGrew said, describing a meeting with the club advisor and saying she felt pressured to resolve the matter immediately.

District administrators interrupted to note there is an ongoing administrative investigation into the matter. An administrator told McGrew, \"there's an ongoing investigation including those issues of concern,\" and requested she not play an audio recording she had brought to the meeting. The administrator said it was appropriate for McGrew to \"express to the board your concern,\" but that the administration is reviewing the concerns and that grievance procedures are available.

Board President Casey Phelan also clarified the process: if the student pursues a grievance and is not satisfied with the administrative outcome, the grievance can be brought before the board for consideration and action.

McGrew identified the advisor involved as \"Miss McGuire\" and also referenced \"Miss Virk\" as another staff contact she sought. The board did not take action on the matter during the meeting; trustees were notified the administration is investigating and that the formal grievance process remains available to the student.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PASADENA ISD Meeting of the Board of Trustees 9/23/2025","oneSentenceSummary","An 11th-grade student from Sam Rayburn High School told Pasadena ISD trustees on Sept. 23 that she was replaced as HOSA treasurer after missing an introductory meeting because of dual-credit classes; district administrators said an administrative investigation and the formal grievance process are underway.","taxTitle","PASADENA ISD, School Districts, Texas","taxId",14251,"location","Texas","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5975710,"Trustees approve policy updates adding bullying to transfer options and clarifying staff support roles",180,510000,690000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5837688-45bb1f24c1d7c7993e66d9a7176c8cd7&start=510&end=690","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5837688-45bb1f24c1d7c7993e66d9a7176c8cd7/thumbnail_510000.jpg","/articles/5975710/Texas/Trustees-approve-policy-updates-adding-bullying-to-transfer-options-and-clarifying-staff-support-roles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975710-36b7c84429b17e66ab02031d7d7dafd0/orig.mp4?Expires=1773573213&Signature=LFi9laDn5Z0ttpRV2CCzVjkorcghUoWe7YNk8IHrzZ6LmSWThhwAW9jH8n8iZboj~rZSfTYnDYCXo6ZtX9D~O7trYNvg~u9fU5oVxkPQCnV9VvFXZAiB0kquFaggf-O3ck~BEbGtz2ceithaPYYjoj2vyw2TXXT6w64jRj4EwITIhL-KmbU11sc4n4F9SclI0BLOx0A9NP26ZDB3i~xqJN5iIcZ3fNL8JLuhmWKSZlbAd2iY4fzavnDibbQbkUgrUpeWaPzwm8YGp~O0TSVpg~FN-pxIPVmXutPVf53bwCulj1MNt5BDiu8aQDKQM6AhAKwnSqIxBvZVgh6kDasZjw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees on Sept. 23 approved two policy revisions recommended by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB): a revision to BDAA (board officers and officials) that removes a sentence stating a board may assign a district employee to provide clerical assistance, and an update to FDE (student transfers for safety/discipline) that explicitly includes bullying among offenses that allow parents to request a transfer under Texas Education Agency guidance.

Sandra Garcia Hune, the district's general counsel, told trustees the BDAA local change reflects that the superintendent, not the board, assigns and manages staff. \"The reason for the removal is that the superintendent, rather than the board, manages staff assignments, including providing support to the board,\" Garcia Hune said.

On FDE local, Garcia Hune said the revision adds \"the offense of bullying\" to align Pasadena ISD policy with TEA's Unsafe School Choice Option Guidance Handbook and Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code. She explained that the change allows a parent of a student who is the victim of a qualifying violent offense, now specifically including bullying, to request a transfer to another campus.

Board members asked whether the change covers cyberbullying and off-campus incidents; Garcia Hune and a district administrator confirmed that the guidance encompasses school-related, school-sponsored, on-campus and off-campus offenses, and that cyberbullying would be reported and treated under the bullying designation. District staff also noted reporting requirements for PEIMS codes connected to these incidents.

The board later voted to adopt the revisions during the meeting's policy section; motions to approve passed without recorded opposition. Trustees said the changes are primarily alignment and compliance actions rather than new operational policies.","Pasadena ISD trustees approved two policy revisions recommended by TASB: removal of a sentence that suggested the board assign clerical staff and adding bullying to offenses that can trigger parent-requested campus transfers under TEA guidance; trustees said the changes align district policy with state guidance and administrative practice.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},5975716,"Pasadena ISD trustees adopt 1.1722 tax rate, say it matches adopted budget",66,3773000,3839000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5837688-45bb1f24c1d7c7993e66d9a7176c8cd7&start=3773&end=3839","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5837688-45bb1f24c1d7c7993e66d9a7176c8cd7/thumbnail_3773000.jpg","/articles/5975716/Texas/Pasadena-ISD-trustees-adopt-11722-tax-rate-say-it-matches-adopted-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975716-a91f53dc9d0319d3591828274ca67b43/orig.mp4?Expires=1773573213&Signature=Qla8~4oukN8aOkW53DA7zUC37AX~N1tpvPPC6Hj7Rqi6m9oxFM4JMIZ8CFph5~VdwZmWcPyzLOVhix2DgnqsdV5F3ghCpshIWCVGwGQ6UsK5bBdHoR6cE8pAyruDmmI6gSYbwN36mn7Fkrrlguhp0ViyJ0ytRYs3s~Hj2RwLvbK6omO5S5U2yyofVqrgWLeOQI7tMx2RbUanOHtefjQIS12ZvZsltI1DgfGIoutdZDh5fZ74Mcr9NNx5AuEeIHGl~gCdqqwxgogl9Edi1PUXmauJRhsS94vGD8ZAUFZmW~tqV8DuW9p2OVIzOBYkXzZe6ioS3Q3BKxW4uIlNsjUO3w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Sept. 23 to adopt a maintenance-and-operations tax rate of 0.8322 and an interest-and-sinking tax rate of 0.34, for a combined tax rate of 1.1722. The motion carried unanimously among trustees present; Trustee Crystal Davila was absent.

Trustees said the rate is the same figure used to prepare and adopt the district's budget this summer. \"I just want to remind you guys that this is what our adopted budget was based on,\" Board President Casey Phelan said before the vote.

The board made the decision during its regular meeting at the Administration Building, where trustees discussed the item briefly and moved immediately to a recorded vote. \"This will be a recorded vote for each in the minutes,\" Phelan said as trustees prepared to vote.

The resolution as adopted sets the two component rates as presented by district staff. The board did not discuss adjustments to the individual component rates during the meeting; no public testimony or staff presentation on alternative rate scenarios occurred at the dais prior to the vote.

With Trustee Davila absent, the board approved the resolution and directed that the vote and member participation be recorded in the minutes.

Next steps identified at the meeting included clerical recording of the roll-call vote in the official minutes; no further action on the item was scheduled during the session.","The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees on Sept. 23 approved a board resolution setting the district'wide maintenance-and-operations and interest-and-sinking tax rates at 0.8322 and 0.34, respectively, for a total rate of 1.1722; trustees said the rate underpins the district's adopted budget.","actionData","errors"]
