Katy Texas, September 19, 2017-On August 21, the Katy ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to call a bond election for November 7, 2017. This $609 million bond initiative is the result of a community-led Bond Advisory Committee and focuses on meeting KISD existing and near-term growth needs.
The district will use 91% of the bond funds for six new schools in addition to comprehensive renovations, replacement of certain aging school components, school expansions and safety and security improvements.
Importantly, the bond has a zero-school tax rate increase. The goal of the bond is to keep KISD one of the leading districts in Texas and the nation.
To advocate for passage of the bond in November, the 2017 Built 4 Kids Political Action Committee (2017 B4K PAC) has been officially formed. The B4K PAC initiatives will help educate voters on the bond, and advocate for its passage to ensure continued quality education in the Katy community.
