BUILDING TOMORROW TOGETHER:

 

  Does this sound like an adult said it?  Or is it more like what a first grader would say?

  See Dick and Jane play.

  Come here, Spot!

  Let's run and play together. 

 

Here is the first salvo from the school district to try and get the Katy ISD taxpayers to part with enough money that the KISD administrators can be entertained for another couple of years. 

 

At the February 10, 2014 Board of Trustees Work Study meeting, Katy ISD staff presented to the Board a proposal for a  community-based process for developing a facilities review and bond package to help us begin to meet the growing demands and inevitable outcomes of our schools' reputation and region's economy. These steps are instrumental to ensure that the quality educational opportunities our students receive today continue to keep pace with our region's growth. The presentation established a draft framework that could be used to develop a bond package and increase public awareness for the critical capital needs that will need to be addressed to provide enrollment relief, renovations, and other related facility projects.

 

Through data presented annually by our District demographers, PASA, and discussions with residential developers, the District has identified future enrollment projections and  where we will see many new neighborhoods within the next couple of years.   Approximately 4,000 projected new housing occupancies are anticipated to be constructed within the district’s boundaries for the foreseeable future.  This will inevitably bring many of our campuses to full capacity and create a pressing need to provide additional classroom space throughout Katy ISD.

 

The Board will consider the data and process presented to them on February 10.  This page will be updated throughout the bond process should  it be determined to move one forward.  In the meantime, please always feel free to share your thoughts and concerns about growth and related needs by emailing us at communications@katyisd.org.
