Bond Consultant Update Could Lock in Future Spending

📅 October 19, 2026

The district’s bond consultant, Huckabee, is presenting plans for the new Junior High. This is a critical stage where project scope and costs can expand beyond what voters were promised, setting the stage for future tax increases or budget shortfalls.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: This is not just a report; it’s where future costs are born. Contact the KCISD Board (see the Official Agenda link) and ask: ‘Will the board commit to keeping the Junior High project within the original scope and budget approved by voters? We demand a public Q&A on the Huckabee presentation before any designs are finalized.’

💰 Impact: Potential Bond Cost Overruns
