2014 BOND COMMITTEE'S PROPOSED BOND REFERENDUM ITEMS:

The 2014 Bond Committee allegedly came up with the following list of items to include in the Bond Referendum to be voted on in November.

This is presented on the KISD web site as a PDF file.  In typical fashion the file is in colors that do not make it easily read,  easily copied, and thus not really available to the public as it should be.  They continue to play games with us. http://www.katyisd.org/sites/bonds/Documents/Package/Projects%20and%20Costs.pdf

The District continues to arrogantly ask for money in these bonds that they don't need, and the actual construction of some of these schools is so far ahead into the future that they know no one will remember when they ask for the same money again (as they did in the last decade when they asked for money three times for Williams Elementary before they ever built it.) Go to the last page of this document and see how they are asking for the funds for the "pre-construction architectural and engineering design services for high school #9 to be built in 2021 and junior high #16  that will be built in 2020"! They are basing these "needed" schools on the demographer's predictions that I have shown to be way off if they are made any more than a year or two out!  They justify this expense saying they have done it before in 2010 for the construction of schools in 2014.  Actually those schools were built mostly in 2013, and I have shown that they do not need them yet! Anyone else think it's odd to include these funds that obviously are going to benefit our architects of choice in KISD?  What is the deal here?

Here is the best I could do in replicating all 80 pages of the proposal. There are also links to more information, but I figure if you're interested, you can get those yourself. If anyone can get me a better copy, I would appreciate it.

Project Description:

Prototype elementary school designed for 1030 students in LUZ 50 / 51A, land to be purchased.

Background/Justification:

Strong growth in the southwest quadrant of the District continues on an annual basis.

The opening of this campus in 2018 will provide relief for the following campuses:

Wolman Elementary (RJWE), WoodCreek Elementary (WCE)

*Total project cost includes not only the construction dollars but other costs associated with utilities,

Project Description:

Architectural/Engineering costs for future identified elementary school projects to satisfy completion

schedule requirements.

Background & Justification:

Elementary school nos. 41, 42 and 43 were part of the original 2014 bond project worksheet.

Elementary no. 41 is to be located in LUZ5, no. 42 in LUZ 11B/23B and no. 43 in LUZ 73A. All have a

projected opening of 2019.

During the bond committee deliberations, it was recommended that since these elementary were not

opening until 2019 and there would be a potential bond in 2017, the design fees for these campuses

were to be included but not the costs associated with construction. By allowing for the design fees, and

assuming a fall 2017 bond, our schedule to bid these elementary schools in 2018 could be met.

Project: Property Acquisition

Rationale: Required to enable the acquisition of property necessary for future schools and

support facilities including specific parcels of property currently in negotiations.

Recognizing the rapid development occurring within the District, it is important

to acquire available property now in required locations for future school district

facilities.

The budget identified is comparable in proportion to final allocated property

acquisition budgets of previous bond authorizations.

Budget: $18,200,000

Return to Matrix

M11

Project: Infrastructure

Rationale: Infrastructure projects include utility work (i.e. water, sewer, drainage, electrical,

communication), as well as paving and road work, driveway work, signalization,

sidewalks, etc. to support the development of new school district facility sites and the

safe, efficient operation of existing facility sites.

It is often necessary as part of property purchases to undertake infrastructure work as

part of or independent of adjacent residential development projects well in advance of

school facility construction. This is to ensure that appropriate infrastructure is in place in

advance of school construction, otherwise the school facility opening may be delayed

waiting on infrastructure completion.

With respect to existing school district facility sites, infrastructure funding is utilized to

support the replacement of deteriorated infrastructure as well as to construct

infrastructure components such as sidewalks, driveways, parking lots etc. to support

safe and efficient circulation both within and to and from the site.

In addition, certain governing authorities (e.g. Harris County) have instituted new

standards requiring traffic studies when portable buildings are added to a campus.

Traffic studies often result in necessary road improvements within and/or adjacent to

the campus property.

Project Name: Memorial Parkway Junior High (MPJH) Renovation

Project Description:

Provide a comprehensive renovation and facility expansion to meet current program needs

Components of a Comprehensive Renovation:

In the last few years, Katy ISD has developed a comprehensive renovation approach

regarding older school district facilities. The first priority is the roof and building envelope

(brick, windows, doors). Once we have ensured that the facility has been secured from

moisture intrusion, we focus on the interior of the building.

The next level of upgrade is within the building in which we review the mechanical,

electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. In regards to each discipline:

- Mechanical – air conditioning/heating. As the equipment ages the levels of

performance for operation and air quality tend to diminish.

- Electrical – as our programs have evolved, so have our demands for electricity

particularly in the area of technology. A review of lighting levels for student

performance and energy efficiency is also evaluated.

- Plumbing – in older buildings, piping deteriorates affecting the quality and efficiency

of the plumbing. A side effect could result in hidden leaks affecting the integrity of

the walls including the introduction of mold.

Changes to the MEP systems affect the interior finishes – flooring, painting of walls. At

that same time, we review the existing spaces in the building and determine if they

support the current curriculum and legislative requirements. Areas to be considered

would be the restrooms, classroom needs, clinic, and administrative.

At this same time, we review the need for a classroom addition at the campus. The MEP

upgrade would take into consideration the need to support a building addition at a later

date.

When determining the priority of campuses and the total building upgrades, we evaluate

the campuses within the context of roof, building envelope, MEP and program. Any

immediate campus needs are addressed through our work order system in order to

ensure a safe facility.

Project Name: Cimarron Elementary (CE) Renovation

Project Description:

Provide a comprehensive renovation and facility expansion to meet current program needs

Components of a Comprehensive Renovation:

In the last few years, Katy ISD has developed a comprehensive renovation approach

regarding older school district facilities. The first priority is the roof and building envelope

(brick, windows, doors). Once we have ensured that the facility has been secured from

moisture intrusion, we focus on the interior of the building.

The next level of upgrade is within the building in which we review the mechanical,

electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. In regards to each discipline:

- Mechanical – air conditioning/heating. As the equipment ages the levels of

performance for operation and air quality tend to diminish.

- Electrical – as our programs have evolved, so have our demands for electricity

particularly in the area of technology. A review of lighting levels for student

performance and energy efficiency is also evaluated.

- Plumbing – in older buildings, piping deteriorates affecting the quality and efficiency

of the plumbing. A side effect could result in hidden leaks affecting the integrity of

the walls including the introduction of mold.

Changes to the MEP systems affect the interior finishes – flooring, painting of walls. At

that same time, we review the existing spaces in the building and determine if they

support the current curriculum and legislative requirements. Areas to be considered

would be the restrooms, classroom needs, clinic, and administrative.

At this same time, we review the need for a classroom addition at the campus. The MEP

upgrade would take into consideration the need to support a building addition at a later

date.

When determining the priority of campuses and the total building upgrades, we evaluate

the campuses within the context of roof, building envelope, MEP and program. Any

immediate campus needs are addressed through our work order system in order to

ensure a safe facility.

Project Name: Design Fees for Architectural/Engineering Services for Elementary Nos. 41, 42 & 43

Project Description:

Architectural/Engineering costs for future identified elementary school projects to satisfy completion

schedule requirements.

Background & Justification:

Elementary school nos. 41, 42 and 43 were part of the original 2014 bond project worksheet.

Elementary no. 41 is to be located in LUZ5, no. 42 in LUZ 11B/23B and no. 43 in LUZ 73A. All have a

projected opening of 2019.

During the bond committee deliberations, it was recommended that since these elementary were not

opening until 2019 and there would be a potential bond in 2017, the design fees for these campuses

were to be included but not the costs associated with construction. By allowing for the design fees, and

assuming a fall 2017 bond, our schedule to bid these elementary schools in 2018 could be met.

Project: Property Acquisition

Rationale: Required to enable the acquisition of property necessary for future schools and

support facilities including specific parcels of property currently in negotiations.

Recognizing the rapid development occurring within the District, it is important

to acquire available property now in required locations for future school district

facilities.

The budget identified is comparable in proportion to final allocated property

acquisition budgets of previous bond authorizations.

Budget: $18,200,000

Return to Matrix

M11

Project: Infrastructure

Rationale: Infrastructure projects include utility work (i.e. water, sewer, drainage, electrical,

communication), as well as paving and road work, driveway work, signalization,

sidewalks, etc. to support the development of new school district facility sites and the

safe, efficient operation of existing facility sites.

It is often necessary as part of property purchases to undertake infrastructure work as

part of or independent of adjacent residential development projects well in advance of

school facility construction. This is to ensure that appropriate infrastructure is in place in

advance of school construction, otherwise the school facility opening may be delayed

waiting on infrastructure completion.

With respect to existing school district facility sites, infrastructure funding is utilized to

support the replacement of deteriorated infrastructure as well as to construct

infrastructure components such as sidewalks, driveways, parking lots etc. to support

safe and efficient circulation both within and to and from the site.

In addition, certain governing authorities (e.g. Harris County) have instituted new

standards requiring traffic studies when portable buildings are added to a campus.

Traffic studies often result in necessary road improvements within and/or adjacent to

the campus property.

Budget: $10,000,000

Project Name: Miller Career and Technology Center (MCTC) Second floor build out

Project Description:

MCTC Shell Space Build‐out (40,000 SF) to Support Career and Technical Education (CTE)

Program Sequences.

Background and Justification:

This mission of Katy ISD Career and Technical Education is to provide students with the

knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in a global economy; aligned with the school

district’s mission to provide unparalleled learning experiences designed to prepare and inspire.

In partnership with Miller Career & Technology Center, our goal is to provide every graduating

senior an opportunity to earn rigorous workplace certifications that will enhance their career

success with the technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in higher

education as well as an undefined global workplace. Career and technical education offers

programs and courses that align with the post‐secondary education and to national and

industry standards to prepare students to be college and career ready.

The Miller Career and Technology Center build out will include four program areas: Oil and

Natural Gas; Manufacturing Engineering; Allied Health; and Computer Programming –

Software/Game Development and Mobile App Development.

The proposed CTE programs support the requirements of House Bill 5 in that the

program areas provide a sequence of courses within one of the five endorsement areas;

specifically the STEM, Business and Industry, and Public Services endorsement areas.

The proposed CTE programs support the needs of the Katy workforce. The top four Katy

Area industries are Service, 12%; Construction, 12%, Manufacturing, 25%; and Retail

25%. Supporting companies such as BP North America, Conoco/Phillips, Wood Group‐

Mustang Engineering, Shell Oil, Igloo Products, Weatherford, and Memorial Hermann

just to name a few.

The design of the second floor design allows for a flexible learning environment

conducive for student and teacher collaboration and problem‐solving.

All lab spaces will enhance the student learning experience by providing hands‐on

learning, putting theory in practice on equipment that mirror that found in industry.

The proposed CTE programs will provide students the opportunity for work‐based

learning experiences within our community as well as the opportunity to sit for an

industry credential that is directly aligned with industry. The aligned credentials serve as

a validation of the students’ knowledge and skill set as they exit the program, providing

them a higher entry point into the industry.

Return to Matrix

2

Career and Technical Education’s curriculum reinforces academic content; integrating science,

technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts. Activities and resources are

embedded with workplace competencies that are essential in all 21st century career pathways.

CTE students are offered opportunities to apply their learning and transfer their core

knowledge and skills across the curriculum through problem‐ and project‐based learning

activities. Skill sets are validated through the use of industry credentialing to provide authentic

applications. CTE students participate in their learning through a variety of methods such as

contextual teaching and learning and applied academics, adding relevancy to rigorous

coursework. The Katy ISD CTE curriculum answers the age‐old question, “Why do I have to learn

this?”

at Katy Junior High (KJH), McDonald Junior High (MDJH), Beck Junior High (BJH), Cinco Ranch Junior

High (CRJH), and McMeans Junior High (MMJH). Renovations to the front office to better serve

students and parents as well as staff efficiency.

Background and Justification:

CTE programs:

Principles of Health Science (PHS):

KJH, MDJH, BJH, MMJH, and CRJH offer high school credit course Principles of Health

Science (PHS) to 8th grade students.

PHS is an introductory course to the different area/courses offered in the KISD Human

Services career cluster. PHS is the first course in the Education and Training and Family

Consumer Science endorsement strands as compliance with House Bill 5.

The PHS curriculum contains units of basic sewing, nutrition and food prep skills, financial

management, career goal setting, child development skills, interpersonal relationships,

housing, interior design, and personal development. PHS is a lab‐based course where

resources, hands‐on student projects, flexible learning areas, work space, and storage are

essential for student safety and to meet the needs of the curriculum.

Student safety, especially during the kitchen labs and sewing labs, are a major concern at

KJH, MDJH, BJH, MMJH, and CRJH. The 2013‐2014 PHS at KJH, MDJH, BJH, and CRJH

enrollment is 425 students. For safety reasons, KISD CTE Department recommends four (4)

students per kitchen lab.

Technical Education:

KJH, CJH, BJH, MDJH, MMJH offer high school credit course Concepts of Engineering to 8th

grade students.

Concepts of Engineering is an introductory course to Intro to Engineering or Architect

Engineering at the high schools. Students may take this pathway to complete their

endorsement required by House Bill 5.

Concepts of Engineering is a lab‐based course with resources, hands‐on students projects,

that covers many designs to include design of bridges, CO2 cars, projects designed and then

made with 3‐d printers.

Work space and storage are essential for student safety and to meet the curriculum

requirements.

Student safety is a major concern during the lab environment which the students are

building their projects they have designed. The 2013‐2014 Concepts of Engineering at KJH,

CJH, BJH, MMJH, MDJH enrollment is 573 students.

Project Name: South Transportation Phase 2

Project Description:

Final phase of the South Transportation site. Scope of work includes:

‐ Daycare Facility

‐ Satellite South Maintenance

‐ Satellite Police Substation

Background & Justification:

Katy ISD currently has two transportation centers serving the district‐ the East Center, north of

Mayde Creek High School, and the West Center, north of Hutsell Elementary off of Franz Road

in the City of Katy. The West Center is at parking capacity; the East Center is nearly at parking

capacity. In recent years, it has been necessary to relocate bus runs previously served out of

the West Center to the East Center due to the lack of parking.

The need for a third transportation center in the southwest sector of the District was identified

both in the 2002 Long Range Facilities Plan and in the 2006 bond planning discussions to

address the growth needs of the District and the operational efficiencies a center in that area

can provide because of the time and distance required to service that area. The site was

identified on property owned by the District adjacent to Rylander Elementary. However,

funding for the construction of the South Center was withdrawn from consideration by the

2006 Bond Planning Committee in its final deliberations.

From savings in other construction projects, construction of Phase I of the South Center was

approved in 2009. Parking for approximately 70 buses was provided as well as fueling bays, and

a bus wash structure, now being used as two maintenance bays, when the facility opened in

2011. In addition to establishing a transportation center presence in the southwest part of the

District, Phase I provided some routing efficiencies for this very high‐growth area. It is of

significant benefit to coaches in the secondary schools in that area who presently spend a great

deal of time traveling to/from the West Center to pickup/return an activity trip bus, frequently

during the instructional day.

Because of the capacity needs that are expected to continue and the routing efficiencies and

operational cost savings that can be created, the need still exists to fully build‐out the South

Transportation site.

This final phase would include vehicle maintenance bays, bus wash installation, administration,

parking, daycare, and a satellite Maintenance/Police Substation.

Project Name: Clinic/Front Office Renovation at Sundown Elementary (SE) and Mayde Creek

Elementary (MCE)

Project Description:

SE opened in 1982 and MCE in 1983. There have been renovations to these campuses, but

none that addressed the front office situation, particularly the clinics.

Background & Justification:

The current orientation of these clinics is a one room space much smaller than the clinics of our

current prototype. There is not adequate space for separation of cots, lack of privacy for nurse

to address personal issues, and inadequate infrastructure – sinks, hot water, emergency backup

power, etc.

In order to increase the space for the clinic, it is being recommended to renovate and

repurpose the administration space. As well as providing the additional space for the clinic,

efficiencies of the front office operation can be achieved.

Project Name: Shade Structure Installation & Playground Equipment Replacement

Project Description:

Recommend an allowance of $750,000 to provide for shade structure installation and

playground equipment replacement.

Background & Justification:

Historically, KISD has had shade structure installation at our playgrounds as a PTA/PTO

fundraiser as well as any additional playground equipment subsequent to original installation.

It has come to our attention that there are some campuses that cannot raise the funds required

leaving the students at a disadvantage – during the hot days of fall, playground equipment not

benefitting from a shade structure can be too hot to play on. There are also older campuses

that have aged equipment that may not be functional.

KISD is requesting an allowance of $750,000 to fund campuses that cannot afford shade

structures or replacement equipment.

Project Name: Proposed Upgrades/Retrofit Recommendations to the Performing Arts

Centers (PAC)

Project Description:

Retrofit to the PACs at Morton Ranch High School (MRHS) and Seven Lakes High School

(SLHS)

Background/Justification:

Subsequent to our PAC renovations from the 2010 Bond, it has been identified that

retrofits are needed to meet program at MRHS and SLHS. These two PACs will be 11 and

10 years old, respectively, and have been used constantly by school groups as well as

experiencing "heavy" use by community groups. The retrofit was planned to occur on a 10‐year

cycle to maintain pace with technology upgrades in equipment, etc. The majority of expense

with this project is in the replacement and repositioning of technology components

which are not covered through the Technology Department scope of work. Additional

components are addressed in accordance with safety and student/user risk of injury or

application.

A. Performance Lighting:

Purchase of new lighting control console and additional performance lighting

fixtures including new LED fixtures.

1. Current console is out dated, no longer manufactured with limited

support/parts from manufacturer.

2. Current console technology is 10 years old. It does not provide students

with skills required by higher education and professional work

environments, therefore limiting their preparation in this field.

3. Current fixture inventory shared between 2‐3 performance spaces,

limiting lighting design quality by student designers when all spaces used

simultaneously. Students are spending more time removing/ re‐hanging

fixtures from space to space, taking away other instructional

opportunities. This requires students to work later/longer hours, after

class time, relocating and re‐hanging fixtures for different events that run

consecutively in different spaces during the week. Longer hours are

limited due to State Law and UIL extracurricular restrictions, therefore

work is limited, or programs will be in violation and subject to penalty.

4. Installation of identified LED fixtures will reduce amount of heat

generated on stage, providing healthier student/performer space as well

as reducing potential fire hazard.

Return to Matrix

2

5. Installation of identified LED fixtures would provide more energy efficient

and effective performance lighting, lowering energy consumption

(compliant contributor to Texas law of reducing energy consumption).

6. Installation: 96‐144 additional dimming units (1‐2 dimming racks), 96‐

144 additional circuits to provide greater range of use for all users

(internal and external).

7. Limited dimmers/circuits restricts use of spaces for users requiring more

lighting needs and limits creative design/execution of student lighting

design application.

8. Frequent school and/or district events and productions in PAC require

additional funding due to necessary rental of extra lighting equipment to

fulfill event/performance requirements.

B. Performance Audio/Video:

Purchase: New Digital Live Audio Mixer ( Venue SC48 with Computer) additional

wireless/wired microphones and wireless Intercom System for reasons noted

below:

1. Age, availability of parts and limited service of current components.

2. Provide current audio technology standards to students for study and

practical application.

3. Provide greater application of student creativity in audio design,

recording and playback for accurate assessment of skills and knowledge

(TEKS‐based) experiences, knowledge of equipment, applications, and

problem solving.

4. Expand the audio functionality of all PAC events; lessen the amount of

audio processing hardware needed to run events.

5. Fulfill expanded audio requirements from both campus based and

community based end users.

6. Eliminate frequent movement, and positioning problems encountered

with wire based intercom and audio systems.

Replacement of video projectors and video screens. Repositioning of new video

projectors and video screens.

1. Correct the low image quality from current projectors due to 100’

projector to screen distance, and wiring infrastructure.

2. Projector maintenance/repair difficult, dangerous, and expensive at

current location.

3. Current screen positions prevent simultaneous usage of video images and

stage action, therefore limiting event capabilities.

Return to Matrix

3

4. Larger screens, closer high image quality projectors will increase usage of

video projection system by PAC end users, raise image quality standard

required by PAC end users and simplify maintenance and repair of

systems by PAC managers and student technicians.

5. Savings to campus programs and district by use and repositioning of

newer more efficient projectors, due to elimination of expensive long

throw projector lenses and bulbs.

6. Retrofit/updating of video hardware (cameras, digital video mixing).

7. Reinstallation of current video mixing equipment to practical userdemand

location. (Video equipment in the identified PACS is located in

areas with no accessible views of the stage.)

8. Reinstallation of equipment to control booth location provides greater

visibility of operator and proximity to other systems operators.

9. More students actively engaged in the learning and application of

knowledge pertinent to effective and efficient equipment functionality.

10. Will be able to meet the varied requirements of campus and community

based end users.

C. Performance Rigging and Draperies:

Replace existing border/leg curtains with units of extended height and width

1. Current draperies do not mask the back stage or the fly space effectively.

2. Present border/leg curtains limit the height of scenery, increases the

view of backstage during a show, and provides limited functionality for

productions.

3. Have other existing stage drapes cleaned and recoated with flame

retardant.

4. Reduces fire hazard potential, and provides for a cleaner stage

environment.

5. Need is met to comply with federal, state and local fire code

requirements

Replacement of existing purchase line rigging locks with “ JR Clancy Sure Locks”

1. Increases safety factor by indicating “Out of Balance Loads” and the

ability to padlock closed any line set that is being repaired, or adjusted.

2. Prevent accidental operation of line set by unauthorized individuals.

3. Reduces risk of student injury and performer (in‐district or outside user)

injury.

Replacement of any time specific rigging hardware as determined by outside

rigging inspectors.

Return to Matrix

1. Identified rigging components need replacement due to general wear,

and usage

2. Prevention of unnecessary wear and damage to other components.

3. Increase safety of rigging system by eliminating possible component

failures.

D. House Lights:

Replacement of house light with new LED lights.

student enrollment, but an expansion in sports programs offered.

There are four existing science labs at CRHS that do not have fume hoods to support the

curriculum. This scope of work would add the fume hoods to these classrooms.

A building expansion (to the north and west of the field house) is recommended to support

both the growth and program expansion. This is very similar to the locker room expansion that

was part of the Katy High School (KHS) west project.cation:

Project Name: Golbow Elementary (GE) Renovation

Project Description:

Provide a comprehensive renovation and facility expansion to meet current program needs

Components of a Comprehensive Renovation:

In the last few years, Katy ISD has developed a comprehensive renovation approach

regarding older school district facilities. The first priority is the roof and building envelope

(brick, windows, doors). Once we have ensured that the facility has been secured from

moisture intrusion, we focus on the interior of the building.

The next level of upgrade is within the building in which we review the mechanical,

electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. In regards to each discipline:

- Mechanical – air conditioning/heating. As the equipment ages the levels of

performance for operation and air quality tend to diminish.

- Electrical – as our programs have evolved, so have our demands for electricity

particularly in the area of technology. A review of lighting levels for student

performance and energy efficiency is also evaluated.

- Plumbing – in older buildings, piping deteriorates affecting the quality and efficiency

of the plumbing. A side effect could result in hidden leaks affecting the integrity of

the walls including the introduction of mold.

Changes to the MEP systems affect the interior finishes – flooring, painting of walls. At

that same time, we review the existing spaces in the building and determine if they

support the current curriculum and legislative requirements. Areas to be considered

would be the restrooms, classroom needs, clinic, and administrative.

At this same time, we review the need for a classroom addition at the campus. The MEP

upgrade would take into consideration the need to support a building addition at a later

date.

When determining the priority of campuses and the total building upgrades, we evaluate

the campuses within the context of roof, building envelope, MEP and program. Any

immediate campus needs are addressed through our work order system in order to

ensure a safe facility.

Project Name: Miller Career and Technology Center (MCTC) Second floor build out

Project Description:

MCTC Shell Space Build‐out (40,000 SF) to Support Career and Technical Education (CTE)

Program Sequences.

Background and Justification:

This mission of Katy ISD Career and Technical Education is to provide students with the

knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in a global economy; aligned with the school

district’s mission to provide unparalleled learning experiences designed to prepare and inspire.

In partnership with Miller Career & Technology Center, our goal is to provide every graduating

senior an opportunity to earn rigorous workplace certifications that will enhance their career

success with the technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in higher

education as well as an undefined global workplace. Career and technical education offers

programs and courses that align with the post‐secondary education and to national and

industry standards to prepare students to be college and career ready.

The Miller Career and Technology Center build out will include four program areas: Oil and

Natural Gas; Manufacturing Engineering; Allied Health; and Computer Programming –

Software/Game Development and Mobile App Development.

The proposed CTE programs support the requirements of House Bill 5 in that the

program areas provide a sequence of courses within one of the five endorsement areas;

specifically the STEM, Business and Industry, and Public Services endorsement areas.

The proposed CTE programs support the needs of the Katy workforce. The top four Katy

Area industries are Service, 12%; Construction, 12%, Manufacturing, 25%; and Retail

25%. Supporting companies such as BP North America, Conoco/Phillips, Wood Group‐

Mustang Engineering, Shell Oil, Igloo Products, Weatherford, and Memorial Hermann

just to name a few.

The design of the second floor design allows for a flexible learning environment

conducive for student and teacher collaboration and problem‐solving.

All lab spaces will enhance the student learning experience by providing hands‐on

learning, putting theory in practice on equipment that mirror that found in industry.

The proposed CTE programs will provide students the opportunity for work‐based

learning experiences within our community as well as the opportunity to sit for an

industry credential that is directly aligned with industry. The aligned credentials serve as

a validation of the students’ knowledge and skill set as they exit the program, providing

them a higher entry point into the industry.

Career and Technical Education’s curriculum reinforces academic content; integrating science,

technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts. Activities and resources are

embedded with workplace competencies that are essential in all 21st century career pathways.

CTE students are offered opportunities to apply their learning and transfer their core

knowledge and skills across the curriculum through problem‐ and project‐based learning

activities. Skill sets are validated through the use of industry credentialing to provide authentic

applications. CTE students participate in their learning through a variety of methods such as

contextual teaching and learning and applied academics, adding relevancy to rigorous

coursework. The Katy ISD CTE curriculum answers the age‐old question, “Why do I have to learn

this?”

Project Name: South Transportation Phase 2

Project Description:

Final phase of the South Transportation site. Scope of work includes:

‐ Daycare Facility

‐ Satellite South Maintenance

‐ Satellite Police Substation

Background & Justification:

Katy ISD currently has two transportation centers serving the district‐ the East Center, north of

Mayde Creek High School, and the West Center, north of Hutsell Elementary off of Franz Road

in the City of Katy. The West Center is at parking capacity; the East Center is nearly at parking

capacity. In recent years, it has been necessary to relocate bus runs previously served out of

the West Center to the East Center due to the lack of parking.

The need for a third transportation center in the southwest sector of the District was identified

both in the 2002 Long Range Facilities Plan and in the 2006 bond planning discussions to

address the growth needs of the District and the operational efficiencies a center in that area

can provide because of the time and distance required to service that area. The site was

identified on property owned by the District adjacent to Rylander Elementary. However,

funding for the construction of the South Center was withdrawn from consideration by the

2006 Bond Planning Committee in its final deliberations.

From savings in other construction projects, construction of Phase I of the South Center was

approved in 2009. Parking for approximately 70 buses was provided as well as fueling bays, and

a bus wash structure, now being used as two maintenance bays, when the facility opened in

2011. In addition to establishing a transportation center presence in the southwest part of the

District, Phase I provided some routing efficiencies for this very high‐growth area. It is of

significant benefit to coaches in the secondary schools in that area who presently spend a great

deal of time traveling to/from the West Center to pickup/return an activity trip bus, frequently

during the instructional day.

Because of the capacity needs that are expected to continue and the routing efficiencies and

operational cost savings that can be created, the need still exists to fully build‐out the South

Transportation site.

This final phase would include vehicle maintenance bays, bus wash installation, administration,

parking, daycare, and a satellite Maintenance/Police Substation.

Project Name: Clinic/Front Office Renovation at Sundown Elementary (SE) and Mayde Creek

Elementary (MCE)

Project Description:

SE opened in 1982 and MCE in 1983. There have been renovations to these campuses, but

none that addressed the front office situation, particularly the clinics.

Background & Justification:

The current orientation of these clinics is a one room space much smaller than the clinics of our

current prototype. There is not adequate space for separation of cots, lack of privacy for nurse

to address personal issues, and inadequate infrastructure – sinks, hot water, emergency backup

power, etc.

In order to increase the space for the clinic, it is being recommended to renovate and

repurpose the administration space. As well as providing the additional space for the clinic,

efficiencies of the front office operation can be achieved.

Project Name: Shade Structure Installation & Playground Equipment Replacement

Project Description:

Recommend an allowance of $750,000 to provide for shade structure installation and

playground equipment replacement.

Background & Justification:

Historically, KISD has had shade structure installation at our playgrounds as a PTA/PTO

fundraiser as well as any additional playground equipment subsequent to original installation.

It has come to our attention that there are some campuses that cannot raise the funds required

leaving the students at a disadvantage – during the hot days of fall, playground equipment not

benefitting from a shade structure can be too hot to play on. There are also older campuses

that have aged equipment that may not be functional.

KISD is requesting an allowance of $750,000 to fund campuses that cannot afford shade

structures or replacement equipment.

Project Name: Proposed Upgrades/Retrofit Recommendations to the Performing Arts

Centers (PAC)

Project Description:

Retrofit to the PACs at Morton Ranch High School (MRHS) and Seven Lakes High School

(SLHS)

Background/Justification:

Subsequent to our PAC renovations from the 2010 Bond, it has been identified that

retrofits are needed to meet program at MRHS and SLHS. These two PACs will be 11 and

10 years old, respectively, and have been used constantly by school groups as well as

experiencing "heavy" use by community groups. The retrofit was planned to occur on a 10‐year

cycle to maintain pace with technology upgrades in equipment, etc. The majority of expense

with this project is in the replacement and repositioning of technology components

which are not covered through the Technology Department scope of work. Additional

components are addressed in accordance with safety and student/user risk of injury or

application.

A. Performance Lighting:

Purchase of new lighting control console and additional performance lighting

fixtures including new LED fixtures.

1. Current console is out dated, no longer manufactured with limited

support/parts from manufacturer.

2. Current console technology is 10 years old. It does not provide students

with skills required by higher education and professional work

environments, therefore limiting their preparation in this field.

3. Current fixture inventory shared between 2‐3 performance spaces,

limiting lighting design quality by student designers when all spaces used

simultaneously. Students are spending more time removing/ re‐hanging

fixtures from space to space, taking away other instructional

opportunities. This requires students to work later/longer hours, after

class time, relocating and re‐hanging fixtures for different events that run

consecutively in different spaces during the week. Longer hours are

limited due to State Law and UIL extracurricular restrictions, therefore

work is limited, or programs will be in violation and subject to penalty.

4. Installation of identified LED fixtures will reduce amount of heat

generated on stage, providing healthier student/performer space as well

as reducing potential fire hazard.

Return to Matrix

2

5. Installation of identified LED fixtures would provide more energy efficient

and effective performance lighting, lowering energy consumption

(compliant contributor to Texas law of reducing energy consumption).

6. Installation: 96‐144 additional dimming units (1‐2 dimming racks), 96‐

144 additional circuits to provide greater range of use for all users

(internal and external).

7. Limited dimmers/circuits restricts use of spaces for users requiring more

lighting needs and limits creative design/execution of student lighting

design application.

8. Frequent school and/or district events and productions in PAC require

additional funding due to necessary rental of extra lighting equipment to

fulfill event/performance requirements.

B. Performance Audio/Video:

Purchase: New Digital Live Audio Mixer ( Venue SC48 with Computer) additional

wireless/wired microphones and wireless Intercom System for reasons noted

below:

1. Age, availability of parts and limited service of current components.

2. Provide current audio technology standards to students for study and

practical application.

3. Provide greater application of student creativity in audio design,

recording and playback for accurate assessment of skills and knowledge

(TEKS‐based) experiences, knowledge of equipment, applications, and

problem solving.

4. Expand the audio functionality of all PAC events; lessen the amount of

audio processing hardware needed to run events.

5. Fulfill expanded audio requirements from both campus based and

community based end users.

6. Eliminate frequent movement, and positioning problems encountered

with wire based intercom and audio systems.

Replacement of video projectors and video screens. Repositioning of new video

projectors and video screens.

1. Correct the low image quality from current projectors due to 100’

projector to screen distance, and wiring infrastructure.

2. Projector maintenance/repair difficult, dangerous, and expensive at

current location.

3. Current screen positions prevent simultaneous usage of video images and

stage action, therefore limiting event capabilities.

Return to Matrix

3

4. Larger screens, closer high image quality projectors will increase usage of

video projection system by PAC end users, raise image quality standard

required by PAC end users and simplify maintenance and repair of

systems by PAC managers and student technicians.

5. Savings to campus programs and district by use and repositioning of

newer more efficient projectors, due to elimination of expensive long

throw projector lenses and bulbs.

6. Retrofit/updating of video hardware (cameras, digital video mixing).

7. Reinstallation of current video mixing equipment to practical userdemand

location. (Video equipment in the identified PACS is located in

areas with no accessible views of the stage.)

8. Reinstallation of equipment to control booth location provides greater

visibility of operator and proximity to other systems operators.

9. More students actively engaged in the learning and application of

knowledge pertinent to effective and efficient equipment functionality.

10. Will be able to meet the varied requirements of campus and community

based end users.

C. Performance Rigging and Draperies:

Replace existing border/leg curtains with units of extended height and width

1. Current draperies do not mask the back stage or the fly space effectively.

2. Present border/leg curtains limit the height of scenery, increases the

view of backstage during a show, and provides limited functionality for

productions.

3. Have other existing stage drapes cleaned and recoated with flame

retardant.

4. Reduces fire hazard potential, and provides for a cleaner stage

environment.

5. Need is met to comply with federal, state and local fire code

requirements

Replacement of existing purchase line rigging locks with “ JR Clancy Sure Locks”

1. Increases safety factor by indicating “Out of Balance Loads” and the

ability to padlock closed any line set that is being repaired, or adjusted.

2. Prevent accidental operation of line set by unauthorized individuals.

3. Reduces risk of student injury and performer (in‐district or outside user)

injury.

Replacement of any time specific rigging hardware as determined by outside

rigging inspectors.

Background & Justification:

In 2008 KISD began a program of installing outside athletic storage buildings at the secondary

campuses (beginning with CJH & WCJH). These buildings are used for onsite storage of

athletic/track equipment. Currently, campuses store these materials at our central warehouse

on Franz Road. The provision for onsite storage will result in a cost savings for the District.

Premature wear and tear on equipment by stacking and the cost of transporting the material to

and from the campuses can be alleviated by on‐site storage.

Project Description:

Provide for change out of existing metal halide lighting to T5 lighting at six (6) Junior High

campus gymnasiums:

BDJH BJH CRJH KJH MMJH MRJH

This group of work will update all remaining Junior High Gyms to current Standard.

Upgrading these systems will save “Energy”.

The replacement/ upgrade of the lighting will Increase the quality of the lighting exponentially.

Background & Justification:

The District has made the T‐5 the new lighting standard for all gymnasiums in new facilities.

The T‐5 fixtures increase the lighting level to meet U.I.L. Guidelines and provide a quality

environment as well as energy savings. 400 watt metal halide light fixtures typically are

turned on in the early morning and not shut off until the day is over, due to the re‐strike

time of approximately 15‐20 minutes. T‐5 lights do not have the re‐strike time

disadvantage and are occupancy sensor friendly.

We are currently using the following method controlling the T‐5 fixtures in the gymnasiums

retrofitted with (6) lamp fixtures.

1. Occupancy sensors operate the light only when occupied.

2. During practice the fixture can operate at 33% of capacity.

3. During game conditions the fixture is switched to 100% capacity.

Note: Each step reduces energy consumption.

These renovations will bring the THS softball complex up to the standards of other facilities in

the district.

Furthermore, our softball complex and tennis complex share common restrooms, concessions,

coach’s offices, and locker areas. The offices are outdated and the locker rooms are too small

to accommodate both tennis and softball. Summer recreation programs use these facilities all

summer and we need separate locker rooms to house both softball girls and tennis girls along

with tennis boys. Offices with phone and internet capabilities need to be included.

Project Name: Copier/Printer Lifecycle Retrofit

Project Description:

Provide for replacement for an aging fleet of copiers throughout the District. This will allow District

control over power settings, print settings such as duplex printing and detailed reporting which will

allow for just in time printing needs of our users at campuses and departments.

Background & Justification:

There are copiers placed in shared work areas throughout the district (fleet copiers.) These copiers or

multi‐function printers (MFP) generate approximately 14.5 million impressions per month. As the MFP

reaches its term of life it becomes more costly to maintain optimum functionality and must be

replaced. However, age of unit is not the only factor considered at time of replacement. Our

replacement criteria includes, install dates, total counter clicks, CBCs (Clicks between Calls for service),

number of service calls, location of unit (i.e. heavy traffic area or only unit for department) and service

technicians’ recommendations, as they know the units and how well or poorly they are functioning.

Project Name: Campus Standard Changes

Project Description:

Students and teachers across the District need the opportunity to access a technology device. Students in need of a

device would be allowed to check‐out a device from the Library Media Center just as they do a book. Devices

would be checked out for long‐term use.

Technology is constantly changing and evolving. This fund allows the district to adapt technology standards in the

classrooms and the district to keep up with evolving technology.

Background & Justification:

Students for many reasons do not have or cannot bring a device to use either in the classroom or at home.

Therefore in the Technology/Information – Age, the District must ensure each student has an opportunity to access

the numerous digital resources that Katy ISD provides. Students would simply go to their campus library media

center and check‐out the device as they would a book. The student would be allowed to check out the device for a

2‐week period. Providing these devices to students ensures equal access to digital content and extends learning

outside the classroom.

Currently the teachers and students have access to a stationary desktop computer connected to a projection system

within their classroom. Providing a mobile device ensures mobility within the campus or classroom as well as the

opportunity to take the mobile device home if they so choose.

Project Name: Server Infrastructure Growth

Project Description:

Server Growth

Background & Justification:

Every year the student and staff requirements for storage, file, web and email services grow with the

District. Storage capacity is closely related to the amount of new staff and students we acquire each

year. In recent years our storage needs have accelerated due to student and staff created content,

virtualization, rich media, and database growth. The introduction of Dashboards and data warehousing

projects required by the state also has a direct impact. This line item allows us to be responsive to

these growing needs by expanding the capabilities of the current server infrastructure as well as

purchasing new units. We will be virtualizing the majority of the remaining standalone servers during

this bond cycle. This strategy allows us to provide more reliable services and reducing operating costs

such as power, AC and maintenance.

Project Name: Core Network/Wireless Infrastructure

Project Description:

1. Network Switch Retrofit

2. WiFi Expansion for Elementary Schools

3. Telephony System Upgrade

4. Enterprise Systems

Background & Justification:

1. Network Switch Retrofit – The district access switches need to be retrofitted to maintain

operability. We will replace the oldest switches 1st, then use those as spares for the rest of the

district. At end of life, the vendors stop making security updates that leave the devices open to

new exploits as they are discovered. The requirements continue to grow as well. These switches

will now power the phones, wireless access points, security cameras and door access control. Due

to the critical nature of some of services, the switches need to have the technology to be resilient

and continue operating with a power supply failure as well as redundant upstream connectivity. A

Core router will be installed at a secondary data center site to allow for more resiliency in the core

network and speed to recover services at another location if needed.

2. WiFi Expansion for Elementary Schools ‐ The main objective of this initiative is to design a robust

WiFi environment that is built around the classroom rather than the building layout. This means

that more access points need to be added to cover the student digital learning experience in each

classroom. The added access points will allow Katy ISD to build on the current infrastructure to

ensure a robust WiFi connection from the classroom for both District and student‐owned devices.

This reliable and high speed access will provide for the increasing demand of connectivity for

students to access digital resources such as online assessment, multi‐media content, animations,

multiple languages, webinars, and collaboration.

3. Telephony System Upgrade – To stay current with software updates both security and feature, KISD

will be upgrading the telephony system to the current version. This is to ensure that our voice

communication system for the district is reliable. This will include retrofit of the Voice Gateway

routers and IP Phones that are end of life.

4. Enterprise Systems‐Payroll clocks upgrades ‐ Due to the age, condition and specifications of the

District time clocks, it is necessary for us to replace the devices that are not performing to current

standards. Replacing time clocks will allow us to remotely administer and service this equipment.

M59 Project Name: Agricultural Sciences Center

Project Description:

Expansion of the Gerald D. Young Agricultural Sciences Center to support growth and curriculum.

Background and Justification:

The Gerald D. Young Agricultural Sciences Center opened in 2002 with four (4) barns and site

development. Two (2) additional barns were opened in 2004 and one (1) in 2013.

Why Expand the Gerald D. Young Agricultural Facility?

Student safety and convenience

Animal safety

Ease impact on Katy High School and Merrell Center

Investment in long‐term solution

The agricultural sciences curriculum continues to grow and thrive at KISD and has outgrown the L D

Robinson Pavilion adjacent to the Merrell Center. There is a concern for both student and animal safety

since the number of students who participate in the FFA has grown from 208 in 2004 to 444 this past

spring, 2014. The space constraints in the L.D. Robinson pavilion raise safety concerns for our students,

animals, parents, visitors, during the livestock show and for our hundreds of buyers on the day of the

auction.

In November 2013, the Agricultural Sciences Center was part of our $99 million bond referendum. A

committee including community members and staff formulated a plan to provide for an expanded

facility at the existing site. Components include:

Outdoor Pavilion – holding and staging area for shows

Multi‐Purpose Show Area – area for students to show their animals during the show. To provide an area

for the auction on sale day. Provides for arena seating, concessions, flexible classrooms and a lobby that

would serve as a history lounge.

Project Center Building – four (4) flexible classroom spaces will support space for advanced learning of

Animal Science and Horticultural Science classes. In this space, students and teachers can take

advantage of growing crops from seed to table. A Farmers Market will allow students to sell their

products to the community.

Multi‐Purpose Covered Outdoor Arena – 5,000 seats. This will be used for the rodeo and to host judging

contests sponsored by our district high schools and Texas based colleges.

Eco‐Pond/Detention Pond – There are many classes and state contest that involve judging and

identifying landscapes, wildlife, soil, etc. The area surrounding the Eco‐Pond/Detention Pond will

provide students with a hands on opportunity in a natural environment to learn and prepare for these

classes and contests.

Concrete Stadium

Seating, Press Box, Restrooms, Concessions and Field House

Seating for 12,000 with appropriate restroom and concession spaces. A two story press box is

planned to accommodate our District program to support coaches, media, Live Action Media

Broadcast System (LAMBS) II and District staff.

The field house provides a space for the athletes and officials to change and prepare for the

game.

The current Rhodes Stadium field house is approximately 9800 SF and consists of two (2) locker

rooms, restrooms and support space. The proposal for 12,000 SF will include additional space

for coed training rooms, police office, EMT room, and meeting area for coaches.

A second floor shell space is planned for above the field house for future build out for

multipurpose space and the Athletic Department.

Parking

Hard surface parking is required by City of Katy. The number of spaces is determined by the

number of seats per City of Katy Ordinance, Ordinance 1141, Section 18 Minimum Off‐Street

Parking, and Article 18.4. Concrete parking is preferred due to its durability and only has a slight

increase in cost per square foot over asphalt.

LAMBS II

The Live Action Media Broadcast System (LAMBS) II is not just a TV and scoreboard.

Students enrolled in the Audio Engineering and Film courses at the Katy ISD Miller

Career and Technology Center have the opportunity to train, and if successful, to work

as a member of the LAMBS crew which operates the video board at the stadiums.

Students apply to be part of the crew for each football game to run the five live‐action

cameras and control functions such as instant replay, commercials, splash video

graphics, or serve as Technical Director. Skills prepare students for professional

employment in such areas as television production, live action sports, commercials,

studio production and work on both independent and professional films.

Project Name: Additional Portable Buildings

Project Description:

25 additional portable classroom buildings to manage growth and provide additional program

space for existing facilities until new schools are built.

The total cost per new portable classroom building is $93,000 if all work is done by Katy ISD

employees. This includes the building cost, delivery/set‐up, furniture, equipment, technology,

electrical, porches, covered lit walkways, fire alarm and intercom.

If the porches, covered lit walkways, and electrical work are done by an outside contractor the

price per building increases by $10,000 – $17,000 depending on the scope of work. For

example: if additional electrical service must be added to accommodate the portable

classroom buildings at a facility, the price per building increases significantly.

Project Name: Buses

Project Description:

102 buses for growth and 96 replacement buses

Background/Justification:

Over the 3‐year bond planning period, additional buses are being requested to accommodate

student growth. It is expected to add approximately 11 regular education routes and

approximately 23 special needs routes annually. This equates to approximately 102 buses with

70 of these identified as being for special needs. With student growth in special needs and the

addition of new schools, special needs routes are added depending on where the programs are

located and in the case of secondary schools, Work Based Learning requires buses to take

students to on‐site job training programs. This could average 4—6 buses per school for special

needs. New schools alone typically do not result in increased regular education routes

however, 8‐10 regular education buses are expected to be added for increased activity trip

needs related to each year of athletic program growth within a secondary school. Regular

education route growth comes from the increased student growth in areas newly constructed

and that are eligible for transportation. A total of 102 buses are requested to meet student

growth and new school needs.

The District has identified a targeted replacement cycle beginning with the 2002 authorization.

The intent is, over time, that no bus be older than 16 years old. Currently, there are 31 buses in

use that are 16‐19 years old. In addition, there are 82 buses 12‐14 years old. To continue the

cycle, replacement of all buses 16 years of age and older is recommended—a total of 96 buses.

Project Name: Required Pre‐Construction Architectural/Engineering Services

Project Description:

Architectural/Engineering costs for various future projects to satisfy completion schedule requirements.

Background & Justification:

Within the current assumption of a future bond election in November 2018, and based upon current

demographic data which includes the required opening of High School #9 in 2021 and Junior High #16 in

2020, it is required that funding be provided within this authorization to complete pre‐construction

architectural and engineering services including completion of construction documents in advance of

the bond authorization in order that construction can commence on these anticipated 2018

authorization projects to meet required completion and school opening dates. This type of funding was

also included in the 2010 Bond Authorization to meet accelerated 2014 authorization completion dates.
