Katy ISD is preparing to begin construction on its 49th elementary school this year.
The big picture
At a Feb. 23 meeting, the Katy ISD board of trustees approved a nearly $41.02 million construction agreement with Drymalla Construction Company for the construction of a new elementary school at Pitts Road and Sunterra Point Drive on the district’s northwest side.
Officials said it has become necessary for a new primary school to be built as the population continues to grow in the northwest area of the district.
The funding
The project will be funded by the district’s $840.6 million bond, which was 95% approved by voters in November 2023, Community Impact reported.
In addition to the construction contract, another $11 million will go toward furniture, equipment and technology as well as “non-contract costs” such as insurance, permit fees, architectural and engineering fees and utilities, per agenda documents.
Looking back
The new school construction comes after the district opened two elementary schools—Cross Elementary and Boudny Elementary—at the beginning of the 2025-26 school year, Community Impact reported.
What’s next?
The new elementary school is expected to begin construction in March and be completed by June 2027, officials said.
