“It’s important that the community understand the ballot language and what each proposition stands for,” said Alejandro Avendano, committee chairperson and Katy ISD parent. The committee will present the group’s recommendation to the Katy ISD board of trustees at the May 2023 board meeting. Trustees will have until August 2023 to call for a bond referendum for the November election.
