District
Launches Attendance Boundary Modification Process
KATY – During the October 24 Board of
Trustees meeting, Dr. Pat Guseman, president of Population and Survey Analysts
(PASA), presented the 2011
Demographic Update that shows steady growth for Katy ISD, at a rate
of approximately three percent each year over the next five years. While
slightly slower than the rapid growth experienced between 2001 and 2009, the
report shows approximately 23,000 additional students moving to the district
during the next 10 years.
The
district also announced today that as part of the Long Range Facilities Plan
process, Katy ISD has entered into the initial stages of the Attendance
Boundary Modification (ABM) process.
Last
November, Katy ISD voters approved a bond referendum that included five new
campuses – three elementary schools, one junior high and one high school. Four
of the five campuses are set to open in fall 2012, and High School No. 7 is
slated to open in fall 2013.
As
part of the attendance boundary modification process, Katy ISD has scheduled two public workshops, both to be held
in the Katy ISD Educational Support Complex located at 6301 S. Stadium Ln. Public Workshop #1 is scheduled for Tuesday, November 15, from 6 p.m. to 8
p.m. The first public workshop will
review the 2011 Demographic Update, as well as the values, assumptions and data
that will be used in creating the attendance boundary recommendation for the
new campuses. Attendance boundary recommendations will not be presented at this
first meeting.
Public
Workshop #2 is scheduled for Thursday,
December 8, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. At
the second public workshop, the district will present the proposed attendance
boundary changes and solicit input from the community.
For
those community members who cannot participate in one or both of the public
workshops, the district will post on its website online surveys. Details about
the online surveys will come at a later date. Information about the ABM process can be
found on the Katy ISD website.
Katy ISD is a TEA Recognized district serving more than 62,000 students. Covering 181
square miles west of downtown Houston, Katy ISD is comprised of 53 campuses,
and with more than 8,000 employees is one of the largest employers in the West
