The committee was composed of representatives with various perspectives, including parents, grandparents, business leaders, students, civic leaders, educators, and KISD alumni. The charge to the committee from the Board of Trustees was to develop a recommendation that will:

​

• Prioritize the needs of all KISD students and make decisions that will enable all students to receive an exceptional education in preparation for the future;

• Represent the expectations and values of the community;

• Consider projects that will provide a safe and secure educational setting for students and staff; and

• Make recommendations that enhance the district’s capacity to provide conditions for quality teaching and learning within the parameters of fiscal capacity and responsibility

 

The committee spent their time reviewing and analyzing the aspects, histories, and projections of KISD’s demographics, growth and enrollment patterns, district finances, educational programs, and thorough discussions of both the immediate and long-term needs of the district. During the process, all committee members were presented with an opportunity to express their opinions, suggestions, and recommendations.

 

As a result of this process, the committee formed a recommendation for a May 2024 bond proposal that was presented to and unanimously approved by the KISD Board of Trustees.
