At its Nov. 18 regular meeting the Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees approved several contracts, grant agreements and travel authorizations.

Notable approvals included a self‑funded medical and prescription stop‑loss coverage contract (CSP #26‑016LP) with Aetna Life Insurance Company for $3,506,148 to be paid from the district’s health fund; trustees moved and seconded the motion and voted to approve the contract. Gallagher representatives attending the meeting said market conditions and the district’s claims experience limited insurer responses to the request for proposals.

Other actions approved in open session included:
• A three‑year interlocal agreement with the University of Houston to use J. Frank Dobie High School as a no‑cost clinical preceptor/internship site for Master of Athletic Training students;
• A Harris County Department of Education 'Case for Kids' partnership grant award of $30,000 for Frasier Elementary;
• Spark School Park program funding of $230,000 for Mathis Elementary;
• An interlocal agreement with Texas Outdoor Family (Texas Parks & Wildlife program) for Sparks Elementary at a cost of $500;
• Travel authorizations for J. Frank Dobie High School JROTC teams to national competitions in Daytona Beach, Florida;
• Budget amendments for October 2025; amendment No. 5 to the district’s master gas services contract (GLO); and allowance expenditure authorizations (AEA) for portable building reroof projects (a $63,372.70 credit and a $91,099.20 expenditure).

All listed motions were recorded as moved and seconded in the minutes and carried by voice vote; no roll‑call named tallies were recorded in the open meeting transcript. The board also set its next regular meeting for Jan. 20, 2026.
