The candidate filing and voting dates have been set for the Pasadena
Independent School District's Board of Trustee election. The Board election will be held jointly with the City of South Houston elections on May 10. This situation occurred because of House Bill 1 (2006 Leg. Session, ending in May 2006) that contains a provision requiring school districts to hold their school board elections jointly with either the county or city during the year in which the county or city elected officers. “We appreciate the generosity of the City of South Houston for working with us in this matter,” said Kirk Lewis, Pasadena ISD superintendent. By being able to partner with South Houston, the Board members will remain on three-year terms. Candidate filing dates for the Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees election will be Feb. 11-March 10. Candidates may begin filing on Monday, Feb. 11. Positions up for election this year are seats held by incumbents Marshall Kendrick (position 6) and Vickie Morgan (position 7). Prospective candidates may file from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. during the filing period, except for March 10, when office hours will be extended to 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Early voting in the Pasadena ISD Board of Trustees election will occur April 28-May 6. Voters may cast their ballot at all five Pasadena ISD high schools. Early voting will take place on weekdays from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on April 28-May 2 and 8 a.m.-7 p.m. on May 5-6. In addition, voters may cast their votes early at South Houston City Hall, 1018 Dallas from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. April 28-30 and May 5-6, 8 a.m.-8 p.m. May 1-2, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., May 3 and 1 p.m.-5 p.m. May 4. Polls will be open 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on election day, May 10 at all Pasadena ISD intermediate schools, South Houston City Hall, South Houston Municipal Court and South Houston High School. Polling places are based on the voters’ Harris County voting precinct numbers rather than Pasadena ISD attendance boundaries. For more information, call 713-740-0027. |
