Students in the Katy Independent School District may need to bring an extra quarter to school beginning in August to pay for an increase in the price of a cafeteria lunch.

The district is considering hiking prices for the first time in seven years due to rising costs of labor, food and kitchen supplies among other factors to prevent a budget deficit, officials said.

A history-making trio of women have taken the top three spots on the Katy ISD school board in 2010-11.

What does this trend of placing women in top leadership positions signify? Will it be business as usual?

An 8-year-old Katy girl was killed over the weekend in Louisiana on Interstate-10 near the Gross Tete exit. Her father Steven Key was driving a 2005 Toyota Sequoia at the time of the accident, according to reports.

Health-care reform could expand coverage for some low-income Katy area residents but the law’s full effect will take years to implement and it could be costly for some, said Frederic Warner, the Memorial Hermann Healthcare Systems executive for public policy and government relations.
