Board approves Sam Rayburn JROTC trip to Fort Knox after date adjustments
Summary
The Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees approved revised travel dates for the Sam Rayburn High School JROTC Raiders female team to compete at Fort Knox, Kentucky, April 15—20, 2026, noting the schedule change followed a government shutdown and asking staff to add future agenda language on date adjustments.
The Pasadena Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to approve a revised travel schedule and compensation dates for the Sam Rayburn High School Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) Raiders female team to compete at Fort Knox, Kentucky, April 15—20, 2026.
The motion to approve the trip was made by Trustee Marshall Kendrick and seconded by Trustee Nelda Sullivan; the board voted to approve the travel during a special session on April 6. Board members said the dates had been adjusted because of a recent government shutdown and asked that future agendas include language allowing date adjustments if necessary.
Chair Kenny Fernandez encouraged the students before adjourning to closed session, saying, "Make us proud. You always do. And bring back pictures and the trophy." The board did not disclose funding details or a vote tally by name in the open meeting record.
The approval was taken under the board's action items after the public comment period ended with no speakers. The board convened in closed session later in the meeting for legal and personnel matters and reconvened to record votes in open session before adjourning at 8:08 p.m.
