Katy ISD Calls for Bond Election

On Wednesday, August 18, the board of trustees for the Katy Independent School District in Katy, Tx called for a Tuesday, November 2 bond election at the school board meeting.

$459.7 million was the total that the 2010 bond package recommended to the board.

Three new elementary schools, on junior high and one high school were apart of the proposed package.

The package is divided into four parts, $119 million for renovation of existing facilities, $282 million for new schools, $35 million for technology and $22 million for other items.

Judy Snyder, President of the Katy ISD Board of Trustees, stated “We are very appreciative of the dedication and hard work from the School Facility Referendum Planning Task Force."

She added, “Having thoroughly reviewed this plan, we (the Board of Trustees) feel that the Task Force has clearly outlined a package that the voters can decide on this fall.”

Over the next two years, the tax rate is not scheduled to increase, but is scheduled to increase 1 cent in 2012 and 3 cents for 2013 and 2014 tax years.

After 2014, the tax rate is scheduled to decrease.

Board member Eric Duhon stated, “This is one of the most critical things this board has to do, and that’s for us to decide to spend tax payer money at this magnitude."

He added, “I know it doesn’t come easy to any of us when we look at this and know we are committing tax payers to pay these bonds back.”

The Katy Independent School District Main Office is located in Katy near luxurious communities such as Grayson Lakes and Pin Oak Village.
