Katy ISD Board of Trustees Approve Attendance Boundary Modifications for Schools in Northwest Quadrant
During Monday night's regular Board Meeting, the Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees voted to approve an Attendance Boundary Modification (ABM) for two of the district’s future schools, Junior High #18 and High School #10, as well as areas served by Haskett Junior High, Stockdick Junior High, Paetow High School, and Katy High School. This ABM would address the rapid growth within the neighborhoods surrounding those campuses. The new ABM will go into effect for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Katy ISD annually reviews its attendance boundaries to ensure the district is adequately addressing its fast growth, as well as student and staff capacity at schools. Balancing school enrollment across campuses is essential to ensuring that each of our students has access to safe and engaging learning environments. The district surveyed the families who were identified as potentially impacted by the boundary modifications.
“Attendance Boundary Modifications are a common process that occurs when a new campus is about to open or when the district recognizes challenges such as overcrowding or underutilization within its schools,” said Ted Vierling, Chief Operations Officer at Katy ISD. “With tonight’s approval, several Katy ISD schools in the northwest quadrant will see relief as we prepare to open Junior High #18 and High School #10 next school year,” added Vierling.
Currently, the northwest quadrant of Katy ISD is experiencing increased growth due to several new housing developments and businesses coming to the area. Both Junior High #18 and High School #10 are located in this quadrant and are scheduled to open in the fall of 2024.
