Item 5
Specialist for our Recognition Supporters this evening.
Joined by Ms. Nona Stewart, a new member of our team.
Good evening, Mr. President, Board Members, and Superintendent Fraley.
In 2009, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts launched the Texas Comptroller Leadership
Circle Program.
We recognize school districts across Texas that are striving to meet a high standard
for financial KDIC has received the gold leadership circle award every year since
2011 which has always been the highest award level until 2014 this year the
Texas comptroller is enhancing the leadership circle program by spotlighting
entities that made an even higher standard of financial transparency by
adding a platinum award status we're proud to announce that KDIC was recently
awarded the new platinum award status for 2014 as part of the Texas
Comptroller Leadership Circle Program. Accepting this award on behalf of KDIC's
Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Smith.
I'm actually going to take advantage of being up here and show you, because this is something
something that KDISD should be really proud of, what this award means. And I pulled up
our website, and of course that's our main KDISD.org webpage. And I want to just go to
right here in the middle of the page, you can see the financial transparency site. This
is the site that won the award by the comptroller. And it goes above and beyond what the comptroller
asks and I'm just going to point out a few highlights that are on here the
first of which is it has the 1415 budget information that will be moving up to
the top next week 1314 budget information because our fiscal year ends
August 31st of next week or I guess Sunday it has budgets from previous
years out there we have information 36 months worth of check registers we have
a rolling 12 months of check registers and then we have an archive that takes
information back another 24 months in addition to that and probably most
important on this page is we have our comprehensive annual financial reports
or our audits that have all the notes to the financial statements the district
financial statements and the letter from our auditors for going back to 2008.
This is the comptroller's leadership that we just received. This links, if I hit this,
it would link to the comptroller's website for transparency. I am going to go ahead and go to
this Texas transparency website, which is the comptroller's website, and I'm going to cheat
and get there this way and just show that it you can pull up information on
Katie ISD and it shows that we have a fifty four point five percent increase
in our enrollment from 2003 forward to 2012 13 so over ten years we increased
fifty four point five percent in enrollment growth it shows our current
outstanding debt as of August 31st of 2013 now that seems like a year ago and
and it was a year ago but when the audit audited information comes in from the
finance to the school districts in a January or February that information is
then uploaded by the comptroller and that's why they won't know this
information and until you know sometimes six months from now so that's why there
may be a little lag it shows our outstanding debt per student over the
course of the last ten years also and you can see that our debt per student
has gone down from where it was in 2004 based on the comptroller's interpretation
of our debt per student. They compare us with other districts and they've
actually gone out here and used our comparison with districts based on our
size. I don't think that's a fair comparison. Oh and it shows our debt per
student. I don't think that's a fair comparison because some of these
districts may be growing and some may not be and in fact just to show you that
I wanted to go by some back I'm back to our transparency webpage and under dead
information this has the same table that the comptroller uses but I've included a
10-year growth pattern as far as the percentage of growth so we're comparing
comparing us with districts that have 54.5% growth, where some districts actually declined
in enrollment.
And again, it has the amount of students and the debt per student.
So you can see we have $19,000 in debt per student, whereas no growth or reducing enrollment
has a lot less, because they're not building new schools for new students, as we are.
Those with other with high growth that may be on here such as Conroe, it had
they had 37% and they had just about the amount of debt per student that we had
as well. And we took it a step further and looked at fast growth districts.
There were, we didn't pull districts to make us look good. We literally just went
and got a few districts that we thought were fast growth and put them in here
and so there's some districts that as a percentage may have had higher growth
but they're smaller districts like Komal at 55% about the same as us or just
done just above us is farmland growth but they grew 6,000 students and we grew
22,000 students over that 10 year period of time and and again it has the debt
per student and I think that one correlation you'll see is that if you're
fast-growing school districts are having to build schools to keep up with that so
The other thing it does is it shows our tax rate and it shows that we've maintained the
same tax rate for the last seven years and the budget that you'll see tonight was built
on the same tax rate yet again, so we'll have a tax rate for eight years.
And this shows our debt per student, I'm sorry, our debt per percentage of property value.
So even though we've grown and we've had a bond sale or two or three bond sales over this period of time
Because of our property value growth our debt per student is not really our debt per property value has actually declined and
Based on projections will continue to do so very shortly after
The bond election if successful, so that's a tour of our site, and I just wanted to point it out
just some highlights of it because I think there's a lot of information out here that's very good.
We actually do link directly from the transparency site to the district's bond package site,
which has all the information you could ever want to know about,
the facts about the bond referendum.
The comptroller recommends to put some financial health information out there, which we've done.
I will point out here that we are the gold member since 2011 and now the
transparency of the platinum member we are the highest rated or five-star
rating we're one of only 55 school districts to receive the five-star
rating for fast and the fast is basically high success in student test
scores and low expenditures per student we're one of 55 school districts and very few of those
have the kind or the size of kdisd and i think that's a that that's really where it all the
tale is is bang for our buck and then of course the financial integrity rating system of texas
we've we've earned the highest rating that you could have for 12 consecutive years and we expect
to get official notice next week making that 13. This is information that the
comptroller puts out. We've expanded on that to so that yes if the bond election
is successful we will sell bonds in four tranches not all at once.
They'll be sold over a three or four year period of time and during that
three or four year period of time we'll be adding property values, we'll be
be adding more students at 3,000 a year, and we will be paying down debt each of those years.
And so this kind of gives you a graphical look of that information. And again, I've got those
comparisons out there. This is the information the comptroller recommends is the language on
the ballot, as well as our pledge to transparency, which we've been doing. And I think it's a lot of
good information is more than more than required and welcome input on how we
could make it even better and I would be remiss if I didn't say Sterling from my
staff updates those check registers every month and of course Brian LaPori
and communications the communications department help us put this together in
a visual format or it would just be numbers and if it just came from me so
So thank you all very much.
Thank you, Mr. Smith.
In just the past year, this board has, in its goal-setting sessions with the superintendent,
has expressed their desire for as much transparency as we have.
Now, I realize that this has been this information and wealth of information that it is,
especially financial, has been up on the website for quite some time,
and it continues to get better.
but it is very nice to be recognized by the governor's office for that transparency at their very highest level.
So we are much appreciative for what you and your staff do to maintain that.
So thank you very much.

Thank you, Superintendent Fraley, Mr. President and the board for letting me speak and for
for this recognition tonight.
I'd like to say that, as you can see,
we've had a very successful season and off season.
And a big part in that is the generous support
the board and KDISD has given us.
You've allowed us to compete.
We competed at three competitions this off season,
winning two of them and placing nationally at the one
in Indiana, inviting the top teams from North America.
As well as working with teams from Taylor and Tompkins High School even before they've officially been formed to compete and get a better understanding of what it is to problem solve and to compete in a robotics team.
I look forward to working with the talented group of students and mentors that we have on our team as well as working with other teams from across the district to bring KDISD's name out as a leader in STEM education and recognize robotics in the community.
So thank you again for giving me or giving us this opportunity to be recognized here at the school board.
and we look forward to working with the board and district in the future with
the STEAM Center and all the other exciting things coming. Thank you.
Congratulations to these students.
if I might while they're while they're sitting down we are certainly very proud of everything
that this team has accomplished and not the least of which is just the spirit of collaboration you
guys have a head start on the other schools and Katie asked him and doing great things for quite
some time but now that we're starting new robotics programs across our district we really appreciate
appreciate your wisdom to help them get started.
And we really look forward to completing the Imagination Center down the road here
and just what that will mean for all of this in our district.
So thank you.
And also the parents of these students, but also the non-parent volunteers.
Thank you for what you guys do as well.
Well, I appreciate you guys a lot.

Tonight we have three speakers, so each will be allotted five minutes to speak.
Our Sergeant at Arms, Ms. Courtney Doyle, will give you a verbal indication when you
have one minute remaining.
Our first speaker tonight is Ms. Laura Freeman.
Welcome Ms. Freeman.
Mr. President, Board Members, Superintendent Fraley, my name is Laura Freeman.
I have lived in Katy ISD for 15 years and I currently have two kids in Katy ISD schools.
Tonight, however, I am coming before you as president of Katy ISD Council of PTAs.
Katy ISD Council of PTAs is made up of every PTA within the geographical boundaries of Katy ISD.
Currently, there are 50 schools in Katy ISD schools and one charter school with active PTAs in our council.
ADISD Council serves the first line of serves as the first line of volunteer
support sorry since I have five minutes I'm gonna slow down a little bit because
I mean nobody is here so okay um Katie I see Council serves as a first line of
support for these volunteers I along with my amazing board have volunteered
to help the volunteers of these PTAs be as successful as they possibly can be for the 2014-2015 school year.
The vision and mission of PTA is to make every child's potential a reality
by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
By encouraging parents and the community to become involved in schools,
educating parents, and advocating for every child,
PTAs hope to create a unique learning experience for all students,
all children not just some or few every child last year KDISD council of PTAs
had 26,670 members we are a large council our council has more members
than some state PTAs as awesome as this is KDISD has more than 67,000 students
only one-third of our student body is represented by our membership I would
love for us to be able to show the entire state of Texas that the KDISD community supports
every student.
Our PTAs have a record of successes.
We have had KDISD students represented in the National PTA Reflections Program at the
national level for the past two years.
We have offered classes for high school students on how to create a resume and write a college
entrance exam, or sorry, entrance essay.
We have hosted parent education classes on how to participate in your child's education.
We have hosted fun runs and promoted international walk to school day to encourage children to
make healthy choices.
We have advocated successfully to make high school graduation an attainable goal for every
child.
Our successful PTAs have helped make our schools successful and the schools have made our community
successful.
That is why I am here to ask you, personally, to back the future and join the PTAs of Katy
ISD.
Katy ISD Council PTAs has been steadfast in elevating education in our community through
good times and bad since 1990.
The phrase back the future signifies a renewed commitment by all sectors of our community
to advocate for all local children, including families, educators, community officials,
residents without current students, civic groups, businesses, and retailers. As
community officials, I would hope that you would be willing to show your
support for all the students of KDIC by joining a PTA. I have included a
membership form for y'all so that you have the information. My name is Laura
Freeman and I back the future. Will you join me? Thank you very much.
Mr. President.
Mr. Frehley.
Mr. Freeman, I just want to, again, thank you so much for your leadership
and for your stepping forth to volunteer to be council president,
but also for the years you've been working on behalf of all the boys and girls in KDISD,
and I really appreciate and salute you guys.
Thanks so much.
Mr. Freeman, I've got to tell you, we just received our list, the eight of us,
including the superintendent, our list of adopted PTAs, right?
So we certainly are looking forward to joining those and supporting in any way that we can. Yay. Thank you very much
Our next speaker this evening is miss Angie Waller
Evening miss Waller good to see you
I want to thank you for allowing me to speak I have
three children that reside in KDISD,
and one has graduated from Cinco Ranch High School
and is now serving in the Navy.
I have two elementary students
that are now attending Keiko Davidson Elementary,
which was paid for by leftover bond money from 2010.
And I really appreciate y'all taking the time,
making the decision to build that school,
because now, because of the decision y'all made,
my child is not going in an overcrowded school,
and is also relieved Roman and Wood Creek Elementary and they get start at a
brand new school which was really cool for them and also think it was great
that all of y'all took your time out of your busy schedules to visit all the all
the schools in Katy ISD and I'm what I really want to thank all of y'all even
mr. Fraley was visiting the schools too and I just think that's an awesome it
really shows that y'all really care about Katy and also while I'm up here
after Laura just asked y'all to join PTAs. I'm a membership at Keiko Davidson Elementary.
So if y'all after you join your elected, your the ones that you adopted, you could also join my PTA,
I'd appreciate it. So and also I want to talk about the overcrowding at Wood Creek Junior High.
My child will be going there next year and that's the reason why this bond is so important because
so many of the schools are overcrowded due to everybody wanting to live here and I don't want
my child as i don't think anybody wants a child going to an overcrowded junior high and wood
creek is so overcrowded they have i believe 16 portables they extend all the way to the road
which is also unsafe so i'm hoping that this bond passes so that we can relieve wood creek junior
high and seven lakes junior high which is also overcrowded and i just want to thank y'all keep up
the great work that i think y'all have been doing and continue supporting our kids because that's
what it's about and y'all really showed that by attending and seeing all the kids on the first
day of school so thank you thank you as well and if you'll send me an application i'll be
happy to join davidson pta all right very good our final speaker tonight ms stephanie click
Good evening Mrs. Click. Good to see you. Thanks for allowing me to speak tonight
Board of Trustees and Mr. President and Superintendent Fraley. I practiced this
all the way on here on West Park Tollway and got it to a minute and a half
because I thought I would only not have that much time so I'll just keep it
pretty short for you. My name is Stephanie Click and I've lived in KDISD
for eight years. I have two kids in the district one is now at Schaefer
elementary and one is at Seven Lakes junior high I'm also a core member of
the bond committee my kids spent the previous five years at a very very
overcrowded Stan Stanley Elementary and on Monday my sixth grade son started at
Seven Lakes junior high yesterday I received a first day of school email
that had a very detailed lunch schedule and I will tell you that I was
absolutely shocked when I read that the first child at Seven Lakes junior high
is being fed lunch at 9 55 a.m. and the lunch periods continue until 1 10 p.m.
my son steps foot on the bus at 6 45 in the morning and as fate would have it he
is in the very last lunch cycle that starts at 12 40 p.m. so six hours after
he leaves home in the morning he's being fed lunch lunch for him is after he
He completes band, PE, and five pre-AP GT classes.
Those classes require not only concentration and focus, but PE, of course, is also burning calories.
So even a very heavy breakfast for him at 6.30 is long gone by 12.40 p.m.
I checked last night with a teacher who's a friend at Seven Lakes to see if the kids are allowed to eat snacks.
And she responded that some teachers allow it, but most do not.
The lunch times are an item that I know your hands are tied on.
And I understand the why and how of serving such a magnitude of kids that have to come
through there.
And obviously you can only fit so many kids in the cafeteria.
They've all got to be fed.
They've got to have time.
I get all of that.
And I'm going to speak personally with the principal to see if maybe we can ease up on
this no snack policy.
But I did want to make sure that everyone was aware of how this is going on because
we need to make sure that these kids are fueled so they can do their best work
all day. But finally I want to add that this is only a problem that's going to
increase if this bond does not pass and we're not able to build another junior
high to relieve not just Seven Lakes but also from what I understand an even more
overcrowded Wood Creek junior high and so I'm scared to see what the start and
end times would be if you add in hundreds more kids at each of these
campuses. We need these schools to pass, to be built, and we need the bond to pass.
Thank you. Thank you Ms. Clerk. Mr. President. Ms. Fox. May I ask a clarifying
question of the superintendent please? Mr. Fraley, do you know the
current enrollment of Seven Lakes and Wood Creek and their capacity? I know
we've had that presentation before but there are lots of numbers that come at
Madison, I'm wondering why that lunchtime is so long.
How many students are there?
Seven Lakes, when I was out there yesterday, they were topping 1,700 students.
Junior has a bill for what, 1,300, Mr. Connell?
I'm looking at the numbers right now.
Wood Creek Junior High in today's enrollment report is 1,914 students.
Seven Lakes Junior High is 1,771 students.
students and they had the design capacity for 1,400 students.
That concludes our open forum for tonight.
We will now move to the consent agenda portion of our agenda.
