KISD FOUNDATION HANDOUT:
Whenever I go to a KISD board meeting, I always look over the brochure wall where items are displayed for the taking. I brought this one home. Please note that this organization is closely attached to Katy ISD. It uses office space (do they pay rent?), the school district's phone system and mailbox. In other places I have expressed my concern that there was never an agenda item that I could find where the KISD School Board voted to create this organization or fund it. As a former school board member I kept foundations out of Katy ISD while I was there. Foundations are a way to get around the school board which should have total control of the finances of the school district. That situation is for the protection of the students! This group can fund things that the school board might be totally against, and there is no way now to stop them! Money raised in the name of the school district should go to the benefit of the students, not the teachers. That concept is totally lost on all of these people. Anyone who gives money to this foundation does not have students' interests at heart.
KATY ISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION
Where Imagination Inspires
Imagine a classroom filled with excited, engaged students led by a teacher who not only educates, but inspires.
The Katy ISD Education Foundation is an independent 501(c)(3) corporation whose vision is
to transcend traditional financial resources, enhance learning for students, and give teachers
the opportunity to think bigger than they've ever thought before.
This spring, one hundred percent of all funds received prior
to the awarding of grants in May will go directly to Katy ISD teachers.
