In what is sure to be a controversial decision, Katy Independent School District announced a new procedure for establishing campus attendance boundaries. The system will put a greater emphasis on effective use of tax dollars, staff accountability, objectivity and lessening the probability of neighborhood conflicts. Recently, there have been several very contentious episodes addressing new school boundaries; it is hoped that future disagreements will be minimal.
According to KISD, “The previous process of creating rezoning committees comprised of community members was designed to provide maximum public input. This process, however, put the burden of time consuming work, and accountability for the recommendation, on community members. After reviewing observations and recommendations from past rezoning committee participants, it was determined that a new process that utilized the talents of professional staff, while facilitating quality input from those impacted was needed.” Public Hearings will still be a part of the procedure with public input sought.
Alton Frailey, Katy ISD Superintendent, elaborated, “Katy ISD continues to expand as communities are developed to the west, however, due to the tremendous amount of growth in the past ten years, the district is nearing build out in several areas. Any time you make a changes to an attendance boundary, there results a complex domino effect.”
