July 18, 2017 – During the monthly Katy ISD Board of Trustees Work Study meeting the 2017 Community Bond Advisory Committee (CBAC) Chairman presented the Committee’s $609.2 MM recommended bond package which addresses rapid growth and the near-term needs of the district.
Since early April, Committee members have attended numerous meetings as well as received and assessed extensive and detailed information in order to develop a bond package. Members agreed on a final bond package which includes funds for six new schools, renovations and expansions at existing facilities, enhanced student technology, safety and security upgrades among other items. The Committee’s bond package also ensures a zero tax rate increase.
