The Katy ISD School Board has approved a new boundary modification (ABM) as the District continues to grow. Naming nominations are also now open for Elementary #49 set to help relieve the fast growing northwest quadrant of the District.
At the regularly scheduled Katy ISD Board of Trustees meeting on October 26, 20026, the board approved the attendance boundary modification (ABM) that will help relieve Youngblood Elementary as students and staff welcome the opening of the District’s 49th elementary.
“As our District evolves, we remain focused on what matters most: our students and families,” says Board President Lance Redmon. “These targeted boundary adjustments will help balance enrollment at several existing schools and establish attendance zones for the opening of Elementary School #49. We look forward to engaging our community in naming the new school and creating a welcoming place where students can learn, grow and thrive.”
Slated to open in fall 2027, Elementary #49 is part of the voter-approved 2023 Katy ISD Bond. The approved attendance boundaries will shift designated areas currently zoned to Youngblood Elementary to the new campus, creating additional capacity at both schools. The plan also includes minor boundary adjustments at several existing campuses on the central and eastern sides of the District to better balance student enrollment.
The boundary modifications were informed by data from the District’s demographer, Population and Survey Analysts, campus principals, administrators and parent feedback.
If you are a family who will impacted by this change, you’ll be receiving an email to complete a survey.
The Board also approved forming a Naming Advisory Committee for Elementary #49, inviting community members to help shape the identity of the District's newest campus.
Community members interested in nominating a name to represent the District’s newest elementary school, located at 6435 Pitts Rd, in Katy, are encouraged to review Katy ISD Board Policy CW (LOCAL) before completing the nomination process.
