The PISD board of trustees voted on Jan. 23 to add 6 minutes to classes for the week of Feb. 12 to make up for time lost during the January ice days.

Texas school districts are required to meet a minimum number of minutes per school year — 76,500 minutes to be specific. With the ice storm, Pearland ISD has to make up 30 minutes.

Here is the schedule for the week of Feb. 12-16:

  • Elementary schools: 8 a.m.- 3:16 p.m.

  • Middle and Junior High schools: 8:35 a.m.-3:51 p.m.

  • High schools: 7:15 a.m.-2:31 p.m.

  • PACE Center: 8:40 a.m.-3:56 p.m.


Buses will run on the modified schedule.

Other items at the Tuesday meeting included approving employee pay for the missed ice day and reviewing the Texas Annual Performance Review report.
