KATY ISD – Katy ISD is asking the
community to participate in upcoming Attendance Boundary Modification
(ABM) discussions by either providing feedback online or by attending an upcoming Public Workshop on Nov. 15, 6-8 p.m., at the Katy ISD Education Support Complex, room 1200.
At the Nov. 15 public workshop,
the district will review the 2011 Demographic Update, as well as the
assumptions, values and data that will be used in creating a preliminary
attendance boundary recommendation for the three new elementary schools and new junior high opening in August 2012. Specific attendance
boundary recommendations will not be presented at this first meeting.
Community members can also provide feedback on thevalues and assumptionsonline.
A preliminary
recommendation will be presented to the Board of Trustees at the Nov. 21
meeting. Afterwards, the community will have an opportunity to provide
feedback on the preliminary recommendation at a second public workshop
held on Dec. 8, as well as via the Katy ISD website.
TheKaty ISD 2011 Demographic Update
shows Katy ISD gaining approximately 23,000 students over the next 10
years. This consistent growth has been anticipated through Katy ISD’s
Long Range Facilities Plan and, as such, Katy ISD will open four new
campuses in the western quadrant of the district next fall – with a new
high school slated to open in fall 2013.
With a strong belief that
all stakeholders should be involved in ABM decision making process, Katy
ISD is following a model that was first implemented in 2009 to gather
public input and feedback from the community. This model is a proactive approach that addresses issues and engages the community in the decision-making process.
