KATY, Texas – Students in Katy ISD are headed back to the classrooms Wednesday morning, and several new schools within the district are opening their doors for the first time.
Among those schools debuting this year, is Russel and Cindie Faldyn Elementary School and Youngblood Elementary.
Lisa Kassman, Executive Director of Facilities and Construction spoke to KPRC 2′s Brittany Jeffers about the exponential growth the city has seen and how the district is accommodating that growth.
“It’s incredible just watching,” she said. “Just watching it turn from a small road to a whole blossoming community...”
