Pasadena ISD board recesses to closed session under Texas Government Code, reconvenes and adjourns
Summary
The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees met in special session March 4, 2025, recessed to closed session under Texas Government Code chapters 551.071 and 551.074, reconvened at 3:07 p.m. and adjourned at 3:08 p.m.; no public comments were taken and no public actions were disclosed.
The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees met in special session on March 4, 2025, and recessed to a closed session under the Texas Government Code to consult with attorneys and discuss personnel matters, the board president said. The meeting convened at 12:00 p.m. in the district administration building and adjourned at 3:08 p.m.
Trustee Casey Phelan called the meeting to order and said, "We're gonna adjourn to closed session pursuant to Texas government codes 551.071 and 551.074. We will reconvene at the conclusion of our closed session." Phelan also announced the board would reconvene in open session at 3:07 p.m.
The closed-session authorization cited Chapter 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and Chapter 551.074 (personnel matters) of the Texas Government Code, statutes that permit the board to meet privately on legal and certain personnel matters. There were no public comments: Phelan said, "There's no public comments. We have no signed up."
A motion to recess to closed session was made and recorded. Trustee Marshall Kendrick moved, and Trustee Kenny Fernandez seconded. After the motion, the meeting minutes record the chair calling for a voice vote: "All in favor? Aye. Any opposed? Aye." The transcript also records the chair saying, "Motion carries," and that the board adjourned at 3:08 p.m.
The transcript does not disclose topics discussed in closed session or any public decisions resulting from it. Trustee Paola Gonzales was not present at the initial roll call and was noted as running late. Present at the start of the special session were Trustees Kenny Fernandez, Crystal Davila, Marshall Kendrick, Nella Sullivan and Casey Phelan.
Because Texas law generally requires records of actions taken in open session, and the transcript records only the procedural recess to closed session and the subsequent adjournment, no additional public actions or votes are recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
The meeting was held at the Pasadena ISD Administration Building, 3920 Mickey Gilley Boulevard, Pasadena, Texas. The board cited Texas Government Code, Chapter 551.071 and 551.074 when moving into closed session; the district has not disclosed any further public details about matters discussed in closed session.
