Pasadena Independent School District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pasadena Independent School District is a school district that is based in Pasadena, Texas (USA).

Pasadena ISD serves most of Pasadena, South Houston, a portion of Houston (including Genoa Township), and portion of Pearland.

Each Pasadena ISD house or residential area is assigned to an elementary school, an intermediate school, and a high school. Some areas are assigned to fifth grade centers. Later Pasadena ISD will build "middle schools" that cover grades 5 and 6.

According to a report around November 2, 2004 by the Texas Education Agency, among the 30 largest school districts in the state, Pasadena ISD was the 8th-fastest growing district in Texas by population;[1][2] much of the growth occurred in the "South Belt" area along Beltway 8.[3]

[edit] School uniforms

All students in Pasadena ISD are required to follow a specific dress code.[4]

Students are required to wear polo shirts or oxford shirts of specific colors - in addition to the mandatory blue and white, each individual school may adopt one additional color of its own choosing. Some schools do not adopt additional colors and only allow white and navy blue.

Students are required to wear khaki or navy blue slacks or khaki or blue denim trousers. Skirts and jumpers are also allowed as long as they are in the same styles as the slacks.

The Texas Education Agency specified that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform [5]; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.
