Board Chair opened a special board workshop of the Katy Independent School District on Aug. 31 and introduced a strategic-plan refresh facilitated by Engage to Learn. Julie Moynihan, an Engage to Learn executive facilitator, told trustees the refresh will use aspirational goal‑setting, backward design and community engagement and will focus on student learning as the central purpose.
Moynihan said the refresh process will begin with a community survey and two committee meetings this fall. "We're gonna have the refresh day 1 on October 14. And again, on October 28, we will come back together," she said, and she added that she would return Nov. 9 to report committee recommendations. District staff confirmed a community survey will run Sept. 14–28 and that the district will ask the board to submit nominees to serve on a roughly 100‑member committee.
