CINCO MUD 8 ANNOUNCES 

WE’RE FOR WATER CAMPAIGN CONTINUES IN 2020 

• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) created “We’re for 

Water” as a national campaign to educate consumers about water-saving 

behaviors and WaterSense labeled products. The WaterSense label makes 

it easy to identify products that use less water and perform as well as or 

better than standard models. 

• Whether by replacing an inefficient fixture with a WaterSense labeled 

product or adopting water-efficient behaviors, we can all take action to 

save water for future generations. 

• Saving is as easy as check, twist, replace. 

• Check toilets for silent leaks: put a few drops of food coloring in the tank 

and wait 10 minutes to flush. If color appears in the bowl, the flapper may 

need replacing. 

• Twist on a WaterSense labeled bathroom faucet aerator to save water 

and energy at the tap without noticing a difference in flow. 

• Replace your showerhead with a WaterSense labeled model that uses 

less water and energy, but still lets you shower with power. 

• Join thousands of your neighbors in We’re for Water. Make simple 

changes at home to save water and energy. For more hints, go to www.

HARRIS COUNTY - LEASH LAW 

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. 

While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone 

who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of 

animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting 

hurt trying to avoid the animal. 

Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept 

under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. 

The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep 

any unlicensed dog or cat or to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” 

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following 

circumstances: 

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) 

feet in length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who 

is capable of controlling or governing the dog or cat in question. 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle. 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not 

have access to sidewalk or street. 

While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work 

or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. 

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all

FT. BEND COUNTY - LEASH LAW 

Laws written to ensure that owned animals are confined to their property 

or kept on a leash make freeing a community of unrestrained and freeroaming 

animals easier. Although most dog bites occur on the property 

where the dog lives, unrestrained or free-roaming dogs do pose a 

substantial threat to the public. In addition, unrestrained animals are at 

increased risk of being bitten by rabies-infected wildlife. Enforcement of 

restraint laws is essential in enhancing the animal control program efforts 

to reduce the risk of rabies in our community. 

LICENSING OF DOGS AND CATS 

The primary benefit of licensing animals is identification, should that 

animal become lost. Licensing also: 

• Ensures that rabies vaccination are current 

• Allows for quick identification in case of a bite incident 

• Provides revenue to offset the administration costs of the animal control 

program 

VACCINATION 

Rabies vaccinations are a prerequisite for licensing dogs and cats because 

they are an important control measure for the public health threat of 

rabies. In addition to protecting pets, rabies vaccinations provide a 

barrier between infected wild animals and humans. 

To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained 

please contact: Fort Bend County Animal Control - 1210 Blume Road -

DEMOGRAPHERS PROJECT 

CONTINUED GROWTH FOR KATY ISD 

During its December Board meeting, Population and Survey Analysts 

(PASA) presented its annual demographic update on Katy ISD enrollment 

growth. According to the organization, the District is expected to see 

nearly 100,000 students by 2029, making it the second fastest growth 

school district in Texas. 

While the District is currently 79% built out, PASA projects the majority of 

enrollment growth is expected to take place in the northwest quadrant 

of Katy ISD. Specifically, Katy High School and Paetow High School are 

projected to be over enrollment capacity by the year 2023. The five 

largest and fastest growing subdivisions in the northwest quadrant 

include Elyson, Cane Island, Bridgeland, Camillo Lakes, Morton Creek 

Ranch. Together, these growing subdivisions are expected to bring over 

27,000 residents to the area within the next eight years. 

Even with the growth projections spotlighting the northwest quadrant, 

in other quadrants around the District, many campuses will see various 

levels of enrollment growth. Cinco Ranch High School, for example, is 

projected to see large enrollment numbers in 2020-2022. 

Katy ISD works closely with PASA to determine attendance boundary 

modifications needed as the district continues to grow at a rapid 

pace. PASA indicated the District will need new campuses to address 

overcapacity enrollment relief and to balance enrollment across the 

District, especially in the predicted growth area of the northwest 

quadrant. 

KATY ISD MOVING FORWARD 

WITH TWO SCHOOL BUS INITIATIVES 

In December, the Katy Independent School District Board of Trustees 

approved two transportation items that are focused on providing 

safe, reliable transportation to the District. The Transportation Camera 

Systems Upgrade, which was made possible by Katy ISD’s 2017 Bond, 

will enhance the camera systems on every District bus to include eight 

cameras located in the front, inside and back of the buses. In addition, to 

help alleviate the bus driver shortage across the District, Trustees voted 

to approve a contract for the 2020-2021 school year that will provide 

funds to hire GoldStar Transit, a third party transportation provider, to 

supplement districtwide driver personnel needs. 

8 


Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Ted Vierling, presented both 

items. “The camera system upgrade will provide the latest in technology 

and safety measures available in school bus transportation,” said Vierling. 

“The system is capable of supplying video coverage of every seat 

positioned in the school bus, while also monitoring the activity in nearly 

every corner of the vehicle and bus stop locations,” he added. 

LANDSCAPING AND OUTDOOR LIGHTING 

Sprinkler Repairs And Drainage Solutions 

Installation of the cameras began over the District’s Winter Break, with 

all 330 regular buses and 241 special education buses anticipated to be 

outfitted by the end of the 2019-2020 school year. 

Katy ISD will also enter into an agreement with GoldStar Transit to provide 

additional drivers as the District continues to struggle with personnel 

recruitment amid the state- and nation-wide bus driver shortage. The new 

agreement with GoldStar Transit, a Texas based transportation company, will 

provide at least 40 bus routes, though remains tentative until new school and 

enrollment routes are confirmed in Summer 2020. GoldStar Transit currently 

provides services to a number of school districts, including Fort Bend ISD, 

Bastrop ISD, Waco ISD and Navasota ISD. The company’s drivers will be 

trained alongside Katy ISD bus drivers, while its buses will display Katy ISD 

signage and have equipment on par with that of standard District buses. 

Still, District officials have emphasized that recruiting and retaining inhouse 

drivers remains its priority now and into the future. Katy ISD has 

put a great deal of effort into increasing and maintaining its bus driver 

pool, including recently raising hourly pay to $17.17/hour - a figure that 

is competitive across the region, increasing perfect attendance and 

recruitment bonuses, providing child care services at the rate of $2 a day 

and conducting annual recruitment fairs. 

KATY ISD EARNS AP® DISTRICT 

HONOR ROLL FOR THE 8TH TIME 

The College Board announced Katy Independent School District as one 

of 250 school districts in the U.S. and Canada to be recognized by the 

organization on the 10 th Annual AP® District Honor Roll for increasing 

Advanced Placement (AP) course participation and scores. Katy ISD is one 

of only 18 districts in Texas to earn this distinction. 

More than 4,000 colleges and universities around the world accept AP 

scores for college credit, advanced placement and/or consideration in the 

admissions process. To be included on the 10 th Annual AP District Honor 

Roll, the committee reviews three years of data, student participation 

and student scores on AP Exams. 

Additional requirements to be eligible for the 10 th Annual AP District 

Honor Roll, participating districts must: 

• Increase participation/access to AP course work by at least 4 percent 

in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at least 11 

percent in small districts. 

• Increase or maintain the percentage of exams taken by Black/African 

American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaska Native and Native 

Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander students who scored a 3 or higher on at 

least one AP exam. 

• Improve or maintain performance levels when comparing the 

percentage of students in 2018 scoring a three (3) or higher to those 

in 2016, unless the district has already attained a performance level at 

which more than 70 percent of its AP students are scoring a 3 or higher. 

In 2019, Katy ISD was also named the College Board’s AP Large District 

of the Year for being the nation’s leader among large school districts in 

simultaneously expanding access to Advanced Placement Program® (AP) 

courses and improving students’ performance on AP Exams. 

Founded in 1919, Katy ISD recently celebrated a century of learning as a leader 

in educational excellence. The District maintains more than 66 campuses and 

facilities and serves 83,000+ students. Recently, Katy ISD earned an “A” overall 

district rating from the Texas Education Agency and an “A” from the Texas 

Schools Financial Accountability Rating System of Texas (FIRST).

CONGRATULATIONS TO A NEW EAGLE SCOUT 

William Hummeldorf, a sophomore at Tompkins High School in Katy, 

Texas, completed his Eagle Project at Manford Williams Elementary 

in Lamar CISD this month. William has been in the Boy Scout program 

since Kindergarten and is about to earn the highest rank possible. He 

is currently a Life Scout with BSA Troop 1103. He named his project the 

Rainbow Room. His Rainbow Room is a sensory room for elementary 

students with special needs. He wanted to provide a place for students 

to go when they feel over stimulated or overwhelmed. William is very 

passionate about this project because he, too, is on the autism spectrum 

and utilized a Rainbow Room in his preschool. William’s Rainbow room 

has a ball pit (made by Troop 1103), a punching bag, crash pad, teepee 

with weighted blanket and body sock, as well as a comfy bean bag chair 

with Optical LED lights surrounding it. William also provided a laptop with 

calming music already downloaded as well as a diffuser for aromatherapy 

and projector shining lights on the ceiling. The room is a tiny wonderland 

for kids who need it. William raised the money from family and friends, 

created a budget, built and assembled the items with help from fellow 

scouts and installed everything one weekend in December. William 

hopes the idea of his Rainbow Room will spread to other schools.

Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo 

Ingredients: 

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts 

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 

4 cloves garlic, minced 

ground black pepper to taste 

2 cups heavy cream 

2 egg yolks 

salt to taste 

1 pound fettuccine 

1 sprig chopped fresh parsley 

2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided 

Directions: Combine chicken breasts and chicken broth in a saucepan 

over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low; 

simmer for 5 minutes. Turn breasts, cover and simmer another 5 minutes. 

Remove from heat and let sit with the cover on for 15 minutes. 

Remove chicken breasts from the broth and set aside to cool, reserving 

the broth in the saucepan. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, 

cut into bite-size slices. Return the chicken broth to medium heat and 

cook until reduced to 1 cup. Stir garlic, black pepper and heavy cream 

into the reduced broth; bring to a simmer and remove from heat. 

Whisk egg yolks in a bowl until smooth. Beat 1 tablespoon of the warm 

cream mixture into the eggs until thoroughly incorporated; repeat until 

about 1/2 cup of the warm cream mixture is used. Whisk the warm cream 

and egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining cream 

mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the 

mixture almost comes to a simmer and thickens, about 5 minutes. Season 

with salt and black pepper to taste. 

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine in 

boiling water, stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through, about 

7 minutes. Drain. 

Stir parsley, 1 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cream mixture into the 

pasta. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes until thick. 

Fold chicken and 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano into the pasta mixture to 

serve.
