An update on demographics of Katy Independent School District was given at a Monday, Oct. 29 board meeting.

Tom Gunnell, chief operations officer, gave the update with an emphasis on the west, northwest and southwest corridors. The updated report projects that the area will see more than 34,000 new housing units over the next 10 years. Katy ISD is the 12th largest school district in the state and 67th largest in the country.

The report also included an update on the attendance boundary modifications for High School No. 7. The school is set to open next fall with at least 804 students in grade 9 and 10.
