Katy ISD officials to consider developing virtual high school for the district

KATY, Texas (KTRK) -- Katy ISD board members will meet Monday evening to discuss developing a virtual high school, according to the board's meeting agenda.

The creation of Legacy Virtual High School was discussed in a board meeting last Monday and faced no verbal opposition.

If approved, the virtual school would open this fall, offering free, full-time enrollment to Katy ISD students and Texas residents. Supplemental courses would cost a fee, the district's website says.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
