The Katy ISD Board of Trustees will hold a work study meeting Monday, September 14, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in the Board Room at the Education Support Complex, 6301 S. Stadium Lane. The meeting will be livestreamed on the Katy ISD website.
Among the key items for discussion: The board will consider adoption of the 2026-2027 Maintenance and Operations Tax Rate and Debt Service Tax Rate, which directly affects property tax bills for district residents. Additionally, trustees will review and approve the July 2026 Financial Reports and examine both District and Campus Performance Objectives.
The board will also consider a waiver application to the State Commissioner of Education regarding elementary school class sizes. Under state law, the ratio must not exceed 22:1, but the district is requesting approval to exceed this limit for campuses that have done so or could potentially do so due to increased enrollment during the 2026-2027 school year.
Other business includes approving an amendment to The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company contract for the Support Services Complex renovation and granting a blanket electrical easement to CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric related to the renovation of Rodger and Ellen Beck Junior High School.
