DECIDING HOW BIG KATY ISD IS:

This effort may seem silly to some, but it's not.

When I got on the KISD school board, there were numerous flyers and other documents that stated the size of the district.

We were either 183 square miles or 180 square miles or 181 square miles. 

I suggested to the Board one night that we ought to "decide" just how big KISD was!

Everyone laughed, and I said, "No, we really need to know how big we are and be consistent!"

Unfortunately, there's evidently no real way to know (at least there wasn't in 1992) how big Katy ISD really is.

So I said, "Let's just consistently say it's 181 square miles so that we don't look so stupid."

Is the District really a 181 square miles in size?  Who knows?
