Board funds a new campus for Katy ISD's discipline alternative program

What happened

Trustees awarded a $10,224,842 contract for a new Opportunity Awareness Center, Katy ISD's discipline alternative campus for students assigned away from their home schools. The 19,851-square-foot building is planned with 16 classrooms and administrative support space; total project cost is capped at $11,788,333.

Why it matters to families

The project creates a new setting for the district program that provides academic work, behavioral support, remediation, and counseling before students return to their home campuses.

The evidence

Approved July 27 minutes record the contract, project cap, and 7-0 vote. Katy ISD's OAC page identifies it as the district's discipline alternative campus, and the Texas project registration describes the building's size, 16 classrooms, and administrative space.
