The Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees will hold a regular meeting Monday, September 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. in the Board Room of the Education Support Complex, 6301 S. Stadium Lane. The meeting will be livestreamed on the Katy ISD website.
Among the key items for board consideration are the adoption of the 2026-2027 Maintenance and Operations Tax Rate and the 2026-2027 Debt Service Tax Rate. The board will also decide whether to approve a superintendent waiver application to the State Commissioner of Education for elementary school campuses that exceed the allowable class size of 22:1, as well as those that could potentially exceed the ratio due to increased enrollment during the 2026-2027 school year.
Additional action items include approval of Amendment One to The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company contract for renovations to the Support Services Complex, an electrical easement to CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric for renovations to Rodger and Ellen Beck Junior High School, and acquisition of new library books.
The board will also receive preliminary survey results regarding an Elementary #49 Attendance Boundary Modification, hear an academic presentation on innovative pathways, and receive the Katy Independent School District Education Foundation Annual Report. The board will recognize outgoing Trustee Rebecca Fox for her service.
