district documents<\/a>. The board approved appointments for the following committees Oct. 23:<\/p>\nBudget CommitteeDistrict Educational Improvement CommitteeDistrict of Innovation CommitteePolicy Review CommitteeSafety and Security CommitteeThe budget, educational improvement and district of innovation committees were approved 6-1, with Place 5 trustee Chris Coker voting against the committees.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of people on that list that I didn\u2019t know at all. Never spoken to or anything,\u201d Coker said. \u201cI can\u2019t vote for something with my name attached to it with people I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
The policy review and safety and security committees were approved unanimously.<\/p>\n
The two tabled committees will be discussed in a future meeting Nov. 20. Board trustees shared concerns about underrepresentation for some areas of the district for the two committees.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we have some of these committees that are going to be helping navigate the future of the district and perhaps opportunities to fix infrastructure, I\u2019m just a little concerned that we don\u2019t have that cross-section that we were hoping to look for across the district,\u201d Place 6 trustee Charles Randklev said.<\/p>\n
KISD Superintendent Cory Wilson said the district would create a longer window in future years in an effort to even out representation.<\/p>\n
The background<\/p>\n
The district approved the creation of seven committees for the 2025-26 school year Aug. 28, according to district documents. Parents, community members and staff were given two weeks to apply for committee membership from Aug. 29-Sept. 12.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was a great way to fill our committees. I appreciate having the option of choosing and getting to see people\u2019s credentials and what they said on their application,\u201d Place 3 trustee Chelsea Kelly said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keller ISD\u2019s board of trustees discussed the approval of multiple committees of parents, community members and KISD staff…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21514,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[2331,116,118,117,15982,1234,7830,15981,15983,15979,4275,15980],"class_list":{"0":"post-21513","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-committees","9":"tag-fort-worth","10":"tag-fort-worth-headlines","11":"tag-fort-worth-news","12":"tag-fort-worth-schools","13":"tag-keller","14":"tag-keller-isd","15":"tag-keller-schools","16":"tag-keller-split","17":"tag-kisd","18":"tag-school-districts","19":"tag-schools-in-keller"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21513\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
