Summary
House Resolution 1086, also known as HR1086, commends the Communications Department of the Pasadena Independent School District (ISD) for their exemplary achievements in public relations. The resolution highlights the department's extraordinary performance at the Texas Schools Public Relations Association (TSPRA) convention, where they received a total of 11 Gold Star Awards and two Best of Category honors among 900 entries from across the state.

Contention
While HR1086 is largely celebratory and does not appear to face significant opposition, the acknowledgment of such achievements may still spark discussions on resource allocation within education departments.
