KATY ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES CALL<br />
FOR A MAY <strong>2021</strong> SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION<br />
The Katy ISD Board of Trustees approved to hold a general election in<br />
May <strong>2021</strong> for a three-year term in Positions 6 and 7.<br />
• Early Voting by Personal Appearance: Mon, <strong>April</strong> 19 to Tues, <strong>April</strong> 27, <strong>2021</strong><br />
• Election Day: Saturday, May 1, <strong>2021</strong><br />
Currently, Position 6 is being held by Susan Gesoff and Position 7 is held<br />

of the school district and are the main advising group that oversees and<br />
shapes policies. Individuals serving as Board members are not employees<br />
of Katy ISD, yet they dedicate countless hours to lead an A+ school district.<br />

and/or expand their learning opportunities. Last year, over 4,000 students<br />
utilized the Katy Virtual School (KVS) program offered by the Katy Independent<br />
School District. KVS launched in 2013 with a primary goal of expanding the<br />
learning opportunities for students by offering choice and flexibility for rigorous<br />
online courses developed and taught by Katy ISD teachers. KVS has begun<br />
online registration for Summer <strong>2021</strong>, Fall <strong>2021</strong> and Spring 2022 semesters.<br />
“KVS provides online learning that offers a flexible, online experience, which<br />
helps students achieve their educational goals,” said Susan Richards, Katy ISD<br />
Instructional Technology e-Learning Manager. “The virtual model of e-learning<br />
is in high demand and delivers quality instruction to Katy ISD students, outside<br />
of normal school hours, to support student graduation plans. KVS is different<br />
from the current Katy Virtual Academy (KVA), which is the online learning<br />
model implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” added Richards.<br />
KVS will offer a wide range of courses from Creative Writing, AP Art<br />
History, English III, World Geography, Economics, Psychology and more.<br />
There are over 30 Advanced Placement (AP), Katy Advanced Program<br />
(KAP) and academic level courses available to students with additional<br />
opportunities being added each year. The cost per course is $200 per<br />
semester. KVS is an approved College Board online provider for Advanced<br />
Placement (AP) courses and by the NCAA for student initial eligibility.<br />
For more information, students can talk with their campus counselor for<br />
additional information, email KVS at katyvirtualschool@katyisd.org or<br />

EIGHTEEN KATY ISD SCHOOLS EARN<br />
TEXAS HONOR ROLL DISTINCTION<br />
Katy Independent School District is focused on closing the achievement<br />
gap and helping all its students reach academic success. To recognize<br />
those efforts, 18 Katy ISD schools now proudly display the distinction of<br />
being a Texas Honor Roll School by the Educational Results Partnership<br />
(ERP).<br />
After an extensive analysis of student data of every public school in<br />
Texas, these campuses demonstrated clear leadership in motivating<br />
and achieving academic success for its students at their grade-level<br />
and beyond. Sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education<br />
Excellence (CBEE), the ERP Honor Roll is the only school recognition<br />
program in the state that uses student achievement outcome data,<br />
making it a valuable resource for all schools to identify successful peers<br />
and learn about best practices that improve student success.<br />
The 2019-20 Texas Honor Roll includes:<br />
Elementary: Alexander, Holland, Kilpatrick, Pattison, Randolph, Shafer,<br />
Stanley, Wilson,<br />
Wolman<br />
Junior High: Beckendorff, Katy, Memorial Parkway, McMeans, Seven<br />
<strong>Lakes</strong>, Tays, WoodCreek<br />
High School: Tompkins, Seven <strong>Lakes</strong><br />
For high schools, the ERP Texas Honor Roll recognition includes measures<br />
of college readiness. This year, the program recognized 943 higherperforming<br />
schools across the state.<br />
DONATUTORS<br />
Donatutors is a nonprofit tutoring organization that donates 100% of<br />
our proceeds to charity. All of our tutors are straight-A students at Seven<br />
<strong>Lakes</strong> High school and we offer a multitude of courses like creative<br />
writing, computer science, biology, public speaking, ICTW writing and<br />
many different math courses too. We charge $20 per class, but the first<br />
one is free! For more information, check out donatutors.com or email<br />
us at donatutors@gmail.com. What’s even cooler is that this summer<br />
Donatutors was able to raise $1,283 which we used 70% to give to a<br />
Houston based charity called NAMI and 30% to buy a bunch of masks<br />
and canned food for donation. Please check us out!<br />

SUPPORT GROUP FOR JOB HUNTERS<br />
Searching for a job can be difficult and stressful, but doing it in the middle<br />
of a pandemic can be even worse. Fort Bend County Libraries (FBCL) will<br />
host an online Job-Search Support Group on Tuesday, <strong>April</strong> 27 th at 2 PM.<br />
This program will be live-streamed via Webex; it will NOT be in person. In<br />
this online forum, job hunters will have an opportunity to network with<br />
other people, exchange tips and leads or simply vent their frustrations<br />
with others in the same position. Library staff will share helpful online<br />
resources that can be accessed through the FBCL website. These free<br />
resources can help job seekers create a better resumé, improve their<br />
job skills, research job opportunities and careers and much more. This<br />
online event is free and open to the public. Reservations are required<br />
so that a link to the Webex session can be emailed to all participants.<br />
To register online at FBCL’s website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us), click on<br />

Celebrating its 40 years of service to Houston and Texas, Crime Stoppers<br />
of Houston will host its annual Houston’s Heroes Awards Luncheon on<br />
Tuesday, May 4, <strong>2021</strong> from 11:30 AM-1 PM at the Royal Sonesta Houston<br />
Hotel to honor outstanding individuals and organizations who have<br />
given exemplary service to make Houston a safer place to live, work,<br />

current health and safety protocols, we will offer both an in-person<br />
event with limited seating as well as virtual access for sponsors and<br />
supporters to participate from home. While Crime Stoppers had to<br />
cancel this event last Spring due to the pandemic, the organization is<br />
unable to do so this year and reminds the community that it relies on<br />
this event for funding. Eight distinguished awards will be awarded at<br />
this annual fundraiser that raises funds to keep our communities safe.<br />
For the second year, Crime Stoppers of Houston will reveal the winner<br />
of the Dave Ward Media Excellence Award. This unique award will honor<br />

We have done everything we can to try and reopen our doors, including<br />
becoming the first theater in the country to install hospital grade UV lights<br />
in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced indoor<br />
concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring unit<br />
this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging and<br />
COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and moved<br />
all our programming outdoors. We’ve never given up. We never will give<br />
up. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we find ourselves<br />
needing to pivot once more. Which brings us to the announcement of<br />
our virtual season. Go to www.adplayers.org for all the information.<br />
