"Our biggest concern is that it puts us behind in the construction schedule to accommodate new students," school district spokesman Steve Stanford said.

What dolts...their biggest concern should be that the VOTERS in their community voted NO....to building the "Luxury Palaces" called public schools.... Steel and concrete create the same learning space as marble, granite, bricks & mortar and inlaid Italian tilework.........

Let us not forget that each one of these new students have tax-paying parents.... KISD would have you believe that these kids showed up with empty pockets.

KISD parents...I know you are out there!

We're in Cy-Fair ISD. Have you seen the monstrosity that they built on Barker-Cypress? The athletic stadium looks like it belongs at a college. Congrats to Katy residents for dodging the bullet (at least temporarily).

I am surprised the vote failed. Signs all over our neighborhood with VOTE YES on them.

Incidentally, has anyone seen the Seven Lakes web site? School is HUGE.

Yes, the high schools they build here look like Universities. KISD thinks nothing of building the finest, the top of the line.

I know someone that works in the catering end of KISD and the amount of money that is spent on daily fancy breakfasts, luncheons, etc. is out of sight. There is no accounting, if someone puts in for a party, they get it. Some are also treated to lunch at local restaurants the tab picked up by KISD. I have lived here since 1976 so I have seen the changes in the last years. Yes, we need to keep up with the growing population but they could do it in a more responsible manner.
