There has been so much controversy about this bond; it makes me wonder who opposes the bond; the other school districts? Why do the majority of people move to Katy? The reason people move to Katy because of highly rated school district. The opponents are say that this is going to raise taxes to build a college like football stadium NONSENCE! There is a stadium on the bond program but with the rapid growth of Katy School District another stadium is needed as with any growing school district. The growth out here has been phenomenal; but to keep our district as top in the nation to keep our property values high. I no longer have kids in school but I stay here because I believe in Katy ISD and the quality of life we have here. If you own a $200,000 dollar home your taxes would go up about $10 a year; so most homes here are in the $300-$400K range if you cannot afford to pay $20 annually more for taxes then let’s be honest you should not be living in a home in that price range. So, get out and vote YES FOR THE KATY BOND. For more information on the bond; go to http://www.katyisd.org/sites/bonds.

Good schools, are a property value booster.  $10.00 on $200,000, certainly isn't much.

Yolanda, This is so very important and absolutely needs to be passed. Anyone who is 65 or older will have no increase in taxes! The openents of this Bond have an unknown agenda and have no common sense! They will be the first to compalin when the schools start having issues if it is not passed!

Bad Bond

Bad advice, if this bond was really for our children then why will the football stadium be built before many of the urgently needed repairs to some of the aging schools in Katy ever begin. Our school districts job and responsibility is to provide a safe enviroment and the opportunity for a quality education for our children, not to develop football players with an overpriced stadium. They say most of the dollars will be spent on schools, renovations and new campuses, and the new stadium, field house and parking lot will only be $58 million. Anyone who has read the Bond sees there are 10's of millions of dollars in renovating and repairing other atheletic facilities as well. They are there to educate children, not turn out collegiate and professional athletes. My child attends an old dilapetaded elementary in KISD and it has been known it needs repairs for the last 10 years yet KISD found it more necessary to put a stadium on the ballot last year as opposed to repair our schools. If they were truly interested in what the voters want they would have split this bond in two packages. One for schools and another for atheletic facilities. Anyone who thinks this won't possibly increase our property taxes significantly in the long run is seriously misinformed. First off this is only for growth over the next 3 years, so they will come back in 3 years asking for more. Also if we see crude oil fall to $50 a barrell what do you think will happen when property values fall. They will have to raise rates to cover the gap that is left. Taking on new debt needs to be done responsibly and this bond is not at all that. Come on people, wake up.
