Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, President Doyle, board members, and Deputy Superintendent Gregorski. My name is Olivia Bobrowski, and I am a fifth grader at James Williams Elementary School. I want to thank our Deputy Superintendent and board members for giving me the opportunity to speak to you this evening and for the service to our community. I feel very lucky to be a student in Katy, especially at JWE. Our school theme this year is We Are Aloha, which means we are family in Hawaiian. I have always felt like part of a family at JWE. At JWE, we are taught to be respectful, responsible, safe, and kind. These are the same values you learn from a family at home. We are also taught to take care of one another in our community. I have been able to learn about service to others and working as a team towards a common goal at JWE. I have been able to be a part of Read, Deed and Run where we work to help people in need. Last year our challenge class was able to come up with ideas for projects that might benefit our school like the Friendship Garden or the Wrangler Emporium which is the counselor's store. I have been able to be a member of Safety Patrol and our school recently raised money for children with cancer through Coins for Kids. This month I was elected to our student council. I am really excited to see what we can accomplish together this year. JWE is a great place to learn. We have fun programs like Eureka Science and we get to visit places like the Outdoor Learning Center and the STEAM Center. We get to do experiments and really try out the things we learn about in our lessons. Most of all, I am thankful for our amazing JWE staff and administration, especially our terrific Principal Ms. Bateman who gave me the chance to be here tonight. They have always made me feel like I could do anything if I tried, and they have made JWE feel like a home. I am excited to go to Beck next year, but I will always miss JWE and I will always be proud to be a Wrangler.

Next on our agenda, item 6.1, KD Independent School District 2018 Demographic Update. Mr. Cruz?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Good evening, President Doyle, members of the board, and Deputy Superintendent Gregorski. KDISD continues to demonstrate rapid growth in our student population with our current enrollment number quickly approaching 80,000 students. Tonight we welcome our contract demographers from Population and Survey Analysts to provide an annual update on current and anticipated demographic changes for KDISD. Presenting on tonight on behalf of PASSA are Dr. Pat Gussman, CEO, and Chris Poole, their data manager.

Unknown speaker not human verified

We do appreciate the opportunity to be here this evening and hope to give you a brief summary of the demographic trends in the district, thinking that this will be useful as we look forward not only next year but for 10 years forward. Can you hear me well? Turn it up a bit. I hope that helps. First and foremost, it's interesting to look at this year's growth, which is slightly ahead by a couple of hundred students of last year. A very interesting growth of over 2,300 students by the time we reach the PEIM snapshot date. And the reason it is so very positive is that there were 2,900 students that had crisis codes attached to them. and might not have returned. So in other words, we're almost 14 months away from Harvey, but still feeling the impacts, and it was good to see this high increase in enrollment. In other words, not a dampening of enrollment. Now, in looking at the overall increase in the student population and comparing it to other districts, we have to use last year's data. that's the official data for each of the school districts involved and you can see that Katie is the leader out of 61 districts in regard to the increase in the student population last year followed by Conroe and Cy Fair and it's nice to see also the five-year lead for Katie in having almost 13,000 students added and again we can add this over 2,300 student population increase this year. So now to compare to the state as a whole we see that the two leaders were in the North Texas area followed by Frisco and then seven other Houston area districts following Katy so it's interesting to see the very high growth represented by Katy statewide demographic trends tonight we're just giving you a very brief overview and we have a big report if you want to wade through it that will be online by tomorrow yet you can see here quickly that if we fenced in the district that we've had an increase in kindergarteners relative to births five years before with no consideration of any net in migration to the district however those kindergarteners and the births five years before will level off about 2020 without again net in migration to the district and of course we know that's large but this is if you just maintain those birth mothers and their babies for five years forward KDISD also in looking at demographic characteristics has the lowest percent of economically disadvantaged students out of the largest enrollments in the in the state and this is important because the percent of disadvantaged students is a demographic factor it's a factor that affects what builders and developers and landowners decide to do in terms of development and other residential decisions. At the same time the test scores and passage rates are also a demographic factor because they affect the pull to the district and this is the the passage rates for grades three through eight. Again we're looking at last spring's data and of the largest districts, KD again is the leader in terms of passage rates and we consider that a quality of life, our demographic characteristic and important to follow. Now there's been such concern among administrators and such fears of a high increase in charter school enrollment But if we look at KDISD, again, we see a key word here operating, and that is stability. Because if you look at the yellow numerics, you'll see that in terms of a percent out of the total resident population that would have been in kindergarten through 12th grade, there's not been a real significant increase in other words less than 1% increase in in the the current enrolled students as a percent in this district there's not been a 15% loss for example going to charter schools then at the same time looking at the private schools you can see that actually as a percent percent of the total in the blue numerics, that percent has actually declined over the two years for which we have data, knowing that in 2018 that data is based not only on last year's information but telephone contacts made by our firm. And these are estimates, but we think they're fairly tightly defined. Then charter schools, again, looking at 2016 to the present, in 2016, 3.1% of that overall residence population that could be in KDISD and other schools, and then 3.2% this year. So again, there's not a real concern about increases in charter school enrollment. Now, it's had its ups and downs as new charter schools have entered the fray and definitely had an impact on the district, but you can see that there is pretty much a stable force, a stable impact. Employment trends, we're not even going to try to cover those this evening, except to say that, again, maybe the key word is stability. There's an expectation of the oil prices remaining stable for the next couple of years. Hopefully that will prove true. At the same time, you've seen a tremendous increase in a more diversified focus of distribution centers, logistics hubs, new office campuses. campuses and out of curiosity our firm has been using CoStar data to see how Katie is handling this growth and what how they rank relative to other districts, especially the neighboring districts. Sci Fair is still ahead in terms of industrial square footage absorption and retail absorption, but but Katy is leading now in terms of office absorption. So I expect that Katy will keep rising to the top in terms of all three of those land use types. Now, housing trends, it is important to see that if you add the 55% for the developed and developing parcels and the 24% that we have labeled not developable, that are floodway, reservoirs, parks, and so forth, that those two numbers equal 79%. And so that's telling us that the district's getting built out, and the 21% left is likely to develop or is planned, but faces some severe challenges in terms of floodplain and so forth, and that's the reason it's not developed already. So some big challenges, but we expect the district will continue to build out. And, of course, in yellow you see that there are 828 students per square mile for the built-out portions of the district. And so just as a base of comparison, throughout the state, the most dense of the school districts are Laredo, 1,400 students per square mile, Aleaf about 1200 and Highland Park almost 1100. So those are the three most dense. They're dense each of them for a different reason. One a lot of apartments in Aleaf over half you know Highland Park because it has nothing but single family residential no commercial or industrial land uses and so forth but interesting to see that you are going to have a high density level as you continue to build out and that's going to be important looking toward the next 10 years and after now apart from having low unemployment rates that's the key parameter to relocating to KDISD secondarily new arterials that help to encourage growth in portions of the district that right now do not have heavy development and you can see roughly that most of the new arterials that are planned fit that very criterion that they're going to be in locations where we see very little development presently but where there will be a high percent of growth especially in residential development and from the the pre-1950 period, we know that Katy was a leader in terms of housing starts. Right now Katy is fourth in starts and has had challenges in regard to oil price changes in 15 and 16 and then new housing that was affected in the short term due to the flooding. And we know that this district has popped back up almost immediately, basically, in regard to housing starts and in regard to existing home resales. So in both cases, the district is considered economically strong and stable in regard to housing. Now, one thing that is interesting is that there's been in 10 years 151% increase in those in the district that are 65 and over, and yet only a 58% increase in the total population. And why is this important? We've looked at a similar district just last week that had exactly half the population as Katie. Leander has almost 40,000. You folks are reaching 80,000. They, if they had not had a similar characteristic, would have added in homes, primarily single-family dwellings, another 24 to 2,800 students. And you might now in Katie, we've not been able to research this thoroughly, but just keep in mind it twice the size you might have had 5000 students added. Had you not had this significant of an increase? So it does have an impact. We're not saying it's taking away homes from from those with children. but in other words it seems that the that the the proportion of homes with families is it's holding stable but barely it's in other words it's not shrinking but it's barely holding steady so it's not increasing the percent of homes and we know that because of the ratio of students per house so it's so So this increase, the number of older persons is not extremely large that are moving in, but it is having an impact. And we've said that millennials will soon be adding a significant growth to the district. But have they yet? No, they haven't done so yet. So millennials are not having a big impact. Part of it has to do with the median prices of homes in the district. And we know that there is a push for more affordable homes, and that's underway in many of the new subdivisions that are being constructed.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President, may I ask a question while we're right here? I'm a little confused. Dr. Guzman, is it 65-plus moving in, or is it the ones who, once their children have left, they're just holding on to their homes?

Unknown speaker not human verified

That is an excellent point. It's both. It's both, right. It's the aging of that empty nest cohort that did have children, and they have now reached that magic age. And yet they are not leaving the district. They're not moving to a lake or elsewhere. They're happy in this district undertaking daily activities, and they're remaining in place. But we do anticipate that once the subdivisions reach about 34 years as a median age of the homes in the subdivision, that we will start to see regeneration we have in some subdivisions and not in others. And that's real important because 80% of KD students live in existing built-out subdivisions. So we need to know what's happening. And Ms. Fox, your question is so appropriate. and so important to emphasize. It's not just those moving in. It's an impact of aging as well. And we're not going to tarry on these characteristics of what is happening in the Northwest, but you should know that almost every undeveloped parcel in the Northwest is now under contract or will be in the next one to four years or has been sold since we last saw you a year ago. And at the same time, keep in mind that the third reservoir has not been funded, and it may be substituted, in other words, not just delayed. But there may not be a third reservoir. This time last year I would have assumed there had to be a third reservoir. But now the focus among the developers at least is on waste, is on basically storage. It's on stormwater storage and not just detention and channelization. So there has been a new focus, and evidently it may be effective. It probably will be effective. and that will allow that northwest top hat of KDISD to continue to build out. Now, of course, you know that the largest assemblage has been purchased now and during the last year and is not planned for development in the near term, not for seven to ten years. And last year at this time, it was imminently to develop. That's Troy Maxwell's parcel, the 1,600 acres. Now then keep in mind too that in looking at the impacts of Harvey, newer homes in this district were typically unaffected. So that's real important to keep in mind because these these homes that we're going to see under, that we do see under construction currently and that we will see over the next 10 years in the northwest probably will be fairly safe from flooding and it's going to be the older subdivisions that we've seen in the past for this district around 66 of those subdivisions flooded 14 months ago and 26 or so apartments So there is an ongoing concern about those particular locations, but for the newer homes, not so much a concern. Now, also, we know that because we need to encourage millennials who have children, you know, the empty nesters do not. We need to encourage them to move in the district. finally it's clear that the homeowners in this district are building homes for the first time, not that there hasn't been a need for quite a while, but they are building homes that are even as small as 40 feet wide in the district, but 45 to 55 feet wide. So you should be traveling to the north to see some of the new subdivisions. Camilo Lakes where all of the homes are rental and near it is Treviso and Marcello Lakes and those are between I think between there north of Martin I believe and very it's very interesting to see all of that development that's occurring Friendswood has a parcel under contract as far as we know Beeson is developing two major master plan communities now and in that area all the virtually overnight. Uh, and so the flooding had another critical impact and that was of helping individual homeowners decide to sell land. And so that's that's definitely the case. Now we know that in the northwest there's about 3,400 acres that are planned and almost 3,800 acres that we know will be planned that are those that are underway in terms of being sold. So here for the single-family developments you can see the critical subdivisions for the next 10 years that will be building out in red and in case we don't see this in a later slide because this is an abbreviated presentation, the red that's in the deep southeast and you wonder what in the world is new there, that is our difficult way of showing how many homes are going to be reoccupied. So in other words the lots are there, the homes are there from the past, but it was such a large number that it showed up as one of the hot spots but if you realize that there are many of these subdivisions that are facing that same situation that the homes have not been occupied and right now in that very area two or three out of every ten homes is still being renovated or is abandoned so it they still have a long challenge ahead of them now here is just some of the multifamily developments that are planned and the total then for new housing is about 38,000 that's projected. Students for housing unit, we used to feel that the number it's varied a little bit but not greatly. That means 0.72 students for every house. The statewide ratio is about a 0.63 and this district has been as high as about a point eight five and the apartments are the highest they've ever been by far the ratio students per unit part of that is again due to Harvey so current students keep in mind if we look at the the Southwest that we started working with the district in 1996 and there were virtually no students in the Southwest and now 41%. The southeast 20 years ago had 48% and now 23%. So it's interesting to see how the students have redistributed themselves over time. And again, you've been very patient to go through this data, but keep in mind that the district continues to grow. It continues to have strong, stable growth. It's such a unique district. Again, there are a lot of reasons that the district's growth is strong and stable. And one is that it's not building out within 10 or 15 years, as some districts do. It's building out over 40 years. The highest growth period has been about 40 years or will be until it reaches its conclusion. So we can anticipate around 97,500 in 10 years and that's about what we've stated in the past it's not a great deal different. With the high growth scenario around 100,000 and the low growth scenario on list a little under 93,000 and then if we add in we're so be so close to build out perhaps based on how dense the northwest top hat can become then we would anticipate around a hundred and eleven thousand then it build out so we'd be close once the end of this ten year projection period is over and now we're going to look at the long-range plans for new facilities

Unknown speaker not human verified

good evening I have just a few slides to finish up here it's fall so it must be be time to be doing all of this and addressing you guys. It's something that we do every single year with you all. I just want to walk through the process just a tiny bit here. In order for you all to be able to use the data and use everything that we just talked about and everything that's in that giant 300-page report, then we have to take all of that data and boil it down to projections by Lane-use zone. I know you all are familiar with the Lane-use zones, but we have to take the economy, the projected housing, the ratios of students per home. We get the geocoded students from the district office here. They geocode the students. They look like little dots all over the map. And we also look at the recent trends that have occurred where the students are moving in and out of various areas. And then we prepare projections by land use zone by grade group for each of the years of the 10-year time period. And so we can use those and we can create new attendance zones and do long-range planning. But then the first thing that we have to do of course is put that data back into your current attendance zones and figure out where we think we're going to head and where we're seeing stresses at the at the facility level so do keep in mind that the maps that we're going to look at their maps that are similar to what you've seen in the past and they are the geocoded student population and they do not account for the new elementary and the new junior high that we're sort of in the middle of rezoning for but so elementary 42 will of course relieve Bethke and it will relieve several of the facilities are right around Bethke, but at the end of the projection period, Bethke could still need relief by four or five additional schools. And so that sounds really crazy until you remember that Bethke's attendance zone is the entirety of the top hat of the district where all of that red was on that map a minute ago. Bryant will also need relief, but Bryant can be relieved by a facility built at that site at Kane Island. And then there will probably be a need for additional rezoning elsewhere in the district. We see almost always as a district builds out subdivisions and apartment complexes ebb and flow a little bit, and some things may have to be tweaked along the way. But, you know, of course, we are concentrating more immediately on the new facilities, and we'll be watching for the rezoning elsewhere. So this is the northwestern portion of the district. We'll go quadrant by quadrant to just show a little bit, just an overview of where we're headed. Once again, Bethke, you can see as many as 6,500 students at the end of the projection period. This does not account for that school that we'll be talking about. I know that the Bethke principal is probably having a little panic attack right now. But these slides show the school in the current attendance zone. They show the capacity of the facility there in parentheses. Most of the schools that the district has built in the last 15 or 20 years are about 1,030, but a lot of the older schools have a smaller capacity. They also show the current enrollment and so we know that we have especially here in the northern part of the district especially at the elementary level. We've got bilingual programs that are pulling students in various ways. So this is just sort of a very simple overview so you have to account for those bilingual programs. We've got a white star next to the facilities that have bilingual programs here and so that you can see that where those kids are going to be coming in and out. So we've touched on Bethke and we've touched on Bryant just a little bit. Could be as many as 2,000 students there. So the new facility in Kane Island in the next couple of years can relieve Bryant and can relieve Katie. And then in the northeastern portion of the districts, there are a lot more of the bilingual programs here. You can see all of the white stars. Some of these are self-contained in that the facility contains the bilingual students from its attendance zone. They aren't necessarily pulling a lot of students from other areas in the district. but some of them are you'll notice also that galbo we're showing quite a bit of growth there along the grand parkway and galbo situation but i'm in hopes that we can do a little rezoning a little tweaking like i was talking about there instead of needing for needing a new facility if you ever do need it the district does have a piece of land in 20 laney zone 27c in the southeastern portion of the district we do have some bilingual programs here memorial parkway and actually and i guess it's probably field or my opa star is on a little tough spot west memorial we are showing about 1100 students there and it's got a capacity of 684. it is losing losing several hundred students for a program but yet there are a lot of students in portable buildings there and we are projecting some additional growth there. Now it's possible again this may be an area where we do some tweaking in the in the long term it's something that we'll be watching over the next several years. And then in the Southwest we've got Jenks and the newly opened Campbell that have their bilingual programs there but the good news is we hope this is stable also now maybe no more elementary schools here in the southwestern portion of the district and you can see that many of the of the school attendance zones are very heavily utilized but at some point we do know that those numbers will go ahead and drop on off too. Then at the junior high school level, junior high 16 will relieve Tice and Seven Lakes, and then it will need a couple of additional junior high schools to relieve Stockvick and Katie there in the northern portion of the district. Both of those zones extend into the top hat, as Dr. Kassman called it earlier. So here it's just an overview by district. We are not, we don't have the broad scale of large programs. They're pulling kids in from one direction to a different school. There are of course transfers that are occurring, but they're not nearly as widespread as at the elementary school level. You can see Seven Lakes, you can see Ties, you can see Wood Creek, that will all be helped by the new junior high school. We, in order to put Wood Creek back to its 1,400 student capacity, we could need to pull as many as 1,000 kids out of Wood Creek, long term kids, not today's kids. Then also ties, we would need to pull several hundred students out of there, and Seven Lakes, maybe 700 students out of there, all with the one school that has a capacity of 1,400 students. And then Stock, Dick, and Katie, like I mentioned, each would be long-term. We could be looking at as many as 2,500 or 2,600 students. Then finally, the high school level, high school nine, which won't be for 19, but would be for 20, we'll leave Seven Lakes and Tompkins, And then Katie and Pato will still need relief, just like, you know, same song, third verse here. We'll still need relief there in the northern portion of the district. And so this is what that map looks like. Pato, of course, has a really, really low enrollment right now, but that won't last for very long. And so we're looking at a potential of, you know, thousands of students extra there at Pato. We'll be looking at Tompkins. It should get relief from the new school. You can see where the new school is located there in pink just south of the the 3,000 capacity number there for Tompkins so it's perfectly situated to relieve Tompkins and seven lakes there and Then Katie of course will need some relief by the end of the projection period Are there any questions

Unknown speaker not human verified

There any questions mr. Scott

Unknown speaker not human verified

Could you go back to slide 18? I'm gonna couple of questions on the growth not the not the enrollment. Did you say 18? What slide is that? Slide 18. I'm trying to get to it as quickly as I can and I overshot it. I'm sorry. Okay. I had to find the slide counter. One is just simply the acronym. I'm just not familiar with the acronym. Developers will use LOMAR. Could you help me understand what LOMAR is?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Yes, and, you know, that, again, it would be great if in our report you could do a file find and go to that immediately and read about it. But it's basically a certified revision that more acreage can be utilized. And the Corps of Engineers has to approve that change as well as in Harris County, the Harris County Flood Control District.

Unknown speaker not human verified

So what will be the standards of a LOMAR? When I hear large landowners will attempt a LOMAR from the Corps of Engineers, I don't have a lot of confidence in the U.S. Corps of Engineers that releases water in the dead of night and doesn't tell people what's going on. So what are the standards here? And more importantly, have you all taken, Do you know what the standards of this allowing a higher density would be and how that would project into population growth or housing growth?

Unknown speaker not human verified

I can tell you, of course, since we were hired by the district in the interim this summer to look at the subdivisions that had been flooded block by block and estimate how many children would actually emanate from those homes that were not then occupied. And in doing that, we, of course, realized the enormity of this horrible situation. And yet, now we're looking out in the northwest where the developers such as Ellison had no flooding because they had three types of activities that prevented it. One is, actually four. One is that they had built up Ellison, and now if you drive out there, it's worth the trip out to see that they have built up two big sections of Ellison five feet. So in other words, you drive by and your car, the window darkens. You don't see sunlight. So that is one characteristic. Now, of course, that won't solve everything because it will just drain on someone else.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Well, that's sort of the point here, and I understand. I drive by that area, too. I see. But what I'm wondering is, are the standards that are going to be used to develop the Northwest Quadrant, are they actually mature enough for us to understand what is going to happen on that property?

Unknown speaker not human verified

So, you know, again, all of us have, I would not have conceived that I would have felt that a third reservoir might not be needed at this time last year. I just thought it was the most essential ingredient to survival. But then, on the other hand, now, the key words. seems to be storm water storage, which is not the same as drainage or detention. And what it means is that there will be storage facilities that have, most of them will have manual valves that open and shut to let water in and out, and they protect that water for about a week until it can be slowly dissipated. And that is their approach, which they did not have a year ago. So that's their substitute for the third reservoir.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I'll let it go with basically this and maybe one other comment. Stormwater storage is not a new concept. Okay? It's not a new concept at all. It's a new terminology for an old concept. I think the city of Kansas is it right now. We've been doing some of that storage since the 1980s when the National Flood Insurance Program came in. So what I would like to know, just as a citizen, not necessarily as a board member, but that is our area, when are we going to have, when are the people that are going to build in that area going to have a mature understanding of what the development standards are going to be? And you said a magic phrase there a while ago. Ellison and Bridgeland and all those people, they can build their property 10 feet high and make sure that they don't flood. But the historical purpose of the 100-year flood is that you do no damage below. And we've had detention ponds may not keep as much water as the new terminology or the new nomenclature, stormwater storage. But detention bonds were designed to hold water on a property from a development to keep it long enough so that flooding downstream would be abated and the 100-year floodplain would not be affected. affected. When I hear stormwater storage and I hear that Ellison is building their property up, I don't have one ounce of confidence for the people downstream that they're going to be fully protected. And that's me as a citizen who's been looking at this a long time. Your job is to protect, to project homes. But until we know that there's going to be a third reservoir, until we we know the cubic volume of water that this new nomenclature is going to project, until we know that the Harris County Flood Control District is going to exercise its due diligence and not abandon people because they darn sure knew about the flood pools on the Barker Reservoir and the Cullen Reservoir. They knew all of this. And I'm just thinking that as a board, we can go out there and build, and we're going to build if the people come. done. But I think someone who is a public official needs to stand up, and I'm going to do it tonight, and say that what happened to tens of thousands of people in this community goes right to the culpability of the Corps of Engineers, it goes right to the culpability of the Harris County Flood Control District, it goes right to the culpability of the Fort Benton County Drainage District, and I don't have a whole lot of confidence when I listen that they're going to be protecting people. They don't have a good track record of that and that's just my comment as a citizen not a board member.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I might add two things to that and I see totally their need for that response. I do think that so I've questioned the developers that we've interviewed this year about the build-up of property and what it does to the old rural subdivision that's across the road etc but as you just stated they are dis allowed to have any outfall that leaves their property and it looks like our in it can't leave their property in any direction even if it were to be contrary to the the drainage it cannot leave the property when I'm like that's really

Unknown speaker not human verified

the rules since 1983. Water does not leave a developer's property and hurt someone else. Stanley Kachurka, drainage engineer in Fort Bend County in 1983, was tasked to make sure that water didn't leave property. We can call it storm. I'm not mad at you. I'm just saying this is an incredibly important issue, and maybe the media will pick up and understand that there is a perspective here that needs to be taken a look at in the Northwest Quadrant. We're gonna, you're doing what you need to do. You're telling us how many human beings age X to X are going to be out there and how many schools do we have to build. But this is a much bigger issue with virgin territory that's out there and darn it someone needs to say they failed, they failed miserably and they damn well better not fail again. in.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Madam President, Ms. Fox. So being one of the homeowners that was flooded by the Corps of Engineers, thank you. Thank you for your perspective. My question is, do you think that the land owners, developers are choosing this avenue to find a faster way to be able to develop their land and find hopefully a solution I hesitate with mr. Scott about solution but because the Corps of Engineers has told us that it will they need a three-year study to figure out the problem then they need a 16 to 20 year fix so do you think the land the The landowners are making this choice so that they can develop the property and then maybe offer some sort of protection for the homeowners who will buy there. Is that because they can't wait for the third reservoir?

Unknown speaker not human verified

It'll take 16 years to build. I honestly now don't feel that it will likely occur. I don't think it will happen. And, you know, last year the Harris County judge said 100% certainty, and I was holding on to that hope, but we have projected 6,000 fewer housing units on the whole in that area, but some are elsewhere in the same sort of challenging locations, apartments that were off Highway 6 by the reservoir near Memorial and so forth. There are several places where they have been deleted from our projections, even though they still exist as a plat. And the plat has not expired. But we have been cautious, and we do see a difference in what we think is feasible to occur. And yet, on the other hand, I just can't imagine that time frame that you're describing as being one that could be tolerable.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Right. I just don't see how they can contain enough water based on what happened to everyone. It just was too much water.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I don't know how you could have enough storage for that. So you both have made such excellent points, and I think that this line of conversation should continue to be pursued. But, again, there is a, in terms of future development, we have tried to make adjustments. 6,000 fewer housing units is a big, big adjustment. And we may be proven wrong, and we've got a low projection and a high, and we hope to work within that low and high meaning fully in terms of the students.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I think those projections have always been excellent. So nothing I said today is a criticism of your company. I look at your numbers, and I know they're within a tight parameter amateur that I can depend upon those numbers. And I've been following you a lot longer than before I was on the board. So that was not a criticism, but darn it, someone's got to stand up at these meetings and say something when we're looking at these kinds of issues.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Is there any other questions? Madam President, I have a couple of questions. Ms. Champagne. Thank you. Okay, first of all, I heard that this was going to be a great presentation and that your company does a great job. I saw you in the summer with the bond committee and anyway, I'm impressed. But I just have a question or two. One of them is, two of them are on page 17, the population trends in Katy ISD, the 151% increase in 65 plus residents. I'm sorry,

Unknown speaker not human verified

your 17 is different than ours. I'm sorry. Whichever one where it says the population

Unknown speaker not human verified

trends in KDISD with the 151% increase in 65 plus so I'm curious by Scouts I'm curious and this says there's only a 58% increase in KDISD total population so to me that says that they're moving additional people that that are 65 and older are moving here. Are they, do you notice that they happen to be living in the retirement homes?

Unknown speaker not human verified

So, you know, of course, the number of retirement facilities or senior living facilities is, I don't know if it's doubled or tripled in the last 10 years, but, of course, there's been a tremendous increase. But that's just a small, we know how many beds and units there are in those facilities. And again, the overall population of those 65 and over is not sandwiching in the families. In other words, if the millennials with no children were increasing at a real high rate, and they're not, and the older person's at a high rate, we have districts that are actually losing students in existing housing and in new housing to this trend that's occurring. The families are being sandwiched out of suburban living in some cases. That's not happening because the ratio has stayed the same at 0.72 students per single-family house as the weighted average. We know we're good there. It's just that as Mrs. Fox said part of that is due to an aging, keeping in mind that 80% of the students live in built out subdivisions sooner or later each of those built out subdivisions ages and has fewer and fewer students and so what we don't we it's this is happening in in unusual steps and phases based on the differential age of each subdivision so it's not happening all at once like it did in Spring Branch for example where two high schools had to close for a couple of decades that's a That's a fear. That's a fear, and that's not happening here. But still, it's fascinating to see this big increase. So these individuals, one irony is that they're buying large homes. And so why? Because they have the disposable income, and those poor millennials are struggling. There's a Texas Real Estate Center study that shows that real often the millennial makes one-third of the income required to buy an entry-level home. so they can't meet the the mortgage requirements so so I had heard as

Unknown speaker not human verified

something about that that this new generation will be the first generation since over the last hundred years that won't be able to outdo their parents and in homes their first-time homes so anyway but I do have another question about the the 400 homes in the Cross Creek area that that are still left left there. So when I multiply the .72, if we were to first of all.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Well, in Cross Creek it's one point something. Okay. It's not .72.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Anyway, but that's a few hundred students if we filled it. First of all, do you know why we're not able to fill those houses? And then secondly, when you're trying to do your projection of the schools, are you adding in if those houses were to be filled?

Unknown speaker not human verified

Well, of course, we expect these houses to be filled more rapidly than the average market demand in the Houston region. So each house that's built has demand for that housing typically. So there's no delay. There's no concern there. And in Cross Creek, those houses that remain should become occupied quickly, and they should average probably over one child for new house because in this last gasp of construction in master plan communities in Southwest KDISD there's a tremendous demand for every house that's left in a master plan community and so the ratio of students per house goes up instead of down it's leaping up in Cross Creek every house coveted okay thank you very much dr. Guzman madam president I'm

Unknown speaker not human verified

gonna go mr. Lacy and then miss guess off oh sorry I didn't see you behind me

Unknown speaker not human verified

okay one point to you about spring branch ISD and the closing of two high schools something you may want to those of y'all that are listening or streaming online the reason those schools were closed was because growth stopped then And the cause of the growth stopping was, well, let's call it what it was. Everyone called it a recession. It was a depression because of the oil industry just closing everything down. So it had nothing to do with some of the growth. It had everything to do with the stoppage of growth and not the continued growth. I think what we're seeing here in real estate, though, is a very large pent-up demand. end. And I had a meeting this morning, being in real estate, I had a meeting this morning with several people that were very knowledgeable. And we were talking about the projected growth. Oil and gas industry is probably going to be releasing a little bit more jobs and moving people around in the next anywhere from six to 24 to 30 months. So I think to answer your question, that Southwest quadrant, what she said, absolutely accurate. That will just blow up. And the people would be going down there because of the large size of the houses which leads me to my question you were mentioning a couple of neighborhoods had as small as 40 foot wide lots I know of some in in mist oil you would be much more apt to speak on this because you are a realtor and would know the neighborhoods better than I but where are those that are 40 foot wide lots that sounds very very

Unknown speaker not human verified

tiny to put a single-family residence on so you know the developments that are north of Martin Road there the three that to me have the narrowest Lots are and I can't say which of those three has the most narrow Lots in the greatest number of and that's Camilo likes Marcello likes in Treviso tre be is so And so those three in particular are geared to very young families, entry-level homeowners, and, of course, Camilo Lakes is 100% rental property.

Unknown speaker not human verified

And you keep using the phrase entry-level. What is your price point for entry-level homes?

Unknown speaker not human verified

And I did know the entry. We have it on our spreadsheet, I believe, but I'm sure it's $179,000. Perfect.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Okay, thank you very much. Really intrigued by it? Yeah. I very rarely get any applications under $200,000, and it's extremely difficult to find any housing under $200,000. Oh, you and me both. Thank you.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Ms. Gesoff. Thank you. Dr. Grissman, just a quick question. I'm kind of being funny, but I'm kind of not. I have three daughters, two in college, one in just got a master's, and I'm curious about millennials that move to Katy but live with their parents.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Curious slash terrified. There's been a huge percent increase. I'm sorry I can't quote the statistics, but because my nuclear family is based that same characteristic, I should know the statistic. But males more than females tend to return home. and it's a much higher percent this year than it was 10 years ago. There's been a

Unknown speaker not human verified

tremendous increase. Are they in your numbers? You know we talk about Millennials and young families but you know I wonder are they're kind of

Unknown speaker not human verified

playing under the radar? We can send you that information but we can't glean it from the American Community Survey. You know now there the census is only 10 questions every 10 years, every decennial census and every year inside those 10 10 years, 3.7% or 3.8% respond to the American Community Survey. Hard questions. You never want to be on that sample survey. It's very difficult to answer what you paid in utility bills for the last three years per month, that sort of thing. So it's very interesting. And that data can be more or less clean, but not at the school district level, not for Katie. But we can tell you in a broader geography what that is. but it's a very high percent because they can't earn enough. They're living at home until they can earn enough to, you know, do something better. But the salaries are not the same. They're not working 40 hours a week real often. So there's been so many changes for the millennials. They're just facing a different story in terms of their income trajectory. Okay. Thank you very much.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Are there any others? Madam President, I didn't see any homeschool data included in some of the private schools and things like that. We can't get it. We don't know how to get it.

Unknown speaker not human verified

TEA and other entities don't have estimates for us. And will, Madam President, will this

Unknown speaker not human verified

presentation be available online for people to look through? Yes, it will be up online tomorrow,

Unknown speaker not human verified

correct? I assume we'll have it on our website for PASA and I know the district will too. I see Mr.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Cruz behind you shaking his head. I have a note right here with a star next to it, put report online. Thank you. This report and the giant binder that's waiting for us in the back. We normally put the binder online, but you know we the district actually has the PowerPoint here itself but these

Unknown speaker not human verified

these slides at a glance mr. Krakowski are very helpful I think and very difficult for people to see who are live-streaming so if this could go on I think it'd be in that binders and this is I love looking at these have a

Unknown speaker not human verified

correction to make in one slide thanks to mrs. Fox finding an error no no error

Unknown speaker not human verified

just I was curious about something but I do want to say one thing and that is that we cannot thank you for the presentation so thorough every time and continually we see that Katie has growth and challenges and while we have those kinds of challenges and prepare for those we continue to be high performing And that's why we're a destination district. It's why our growth numbers are so big because we are the highest performing star passage rate in the top 10 districts by top Top 10 districts with the largest enrollments. I just we just can't leave this presentation without saying we have incredible teachers and our principals that we recognize tonight in our leadership and And I'm just, it's why I still do what I do.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It's such an incredible district because normally as districts get as large as this district, they diversify demographically. They don't have the same stable demographic characteristics that this district has evidence now over 30 years. So it is just an amazing district.

Unknown speaker not human verified

It really is. And when you see so few people leaving to go to charter schools or private schools, and I know our homeschool numbers we have some but I don't think they're large that we have a 93% of our students that go to our schools because you know what we do matters and and I'm just grateful. That's why I still love what I do. Thank you Dr. Coosby.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Thank you. Thank you for your presentation. Mr. Cruz. Just note since it was asked the presentation will be moved to public content in the board doc so so people will be able to access that. And I did want to give you a quick update on enrollment for today. It is 79,876, so that 80,000th student is coming soon.

Unknown speaker not human verified

Wow, thank you so much. What's your prediction? Put a date.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I am predicting before the winter break.

Unknown speaker not human verified

I might add something. We looked at our projections last year relative to enrollment. We were 25 or right. So overall, overall district-wide.

Unknown speaker not human verified
