Katy ISD Set to Host Education Summits for Strategic Plan Feedback

By George Slaughter

The Katy Independent School District is hosting two education summits, open to the public, as it prepares to update its strategic plan.

The first summit is set for 6-8 p.m. Oct. 21 at Morton Ranch High School, 21000 Franz Road.

The second summit is set for 6-8 p.m. Oct. 26 at Tompkins High School, 4400 Falcon Landing Blvd.

A light dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m. at both events, the district said.

In a news release, the district said it will seek input on various topics, including:

  • The skills and competencies needed for students now and in the future.
  • Preparing schools to effectively deliver educational opportunities.
  • Well-being/mental health resources to help students succeed in school.

Dr. Andrea Grooms, the district’s chief communications officer, said attendees will have a chance to learn about the district’s K-12 experiences through the eyes of a student panel.

“Participants will engage in facilitated brainstorming sessions designed to inform the development of the district’s upcoming two-year strategic plan,” Grooms said.

Those wishing to attend are asked to RSVP.
