Taxes were a big topic of discussion at the April Humble ISD school board meeting, particularly since post-Harvey Harris County property appraisals have begun to be posted. Many Houston school districts such as Katy ISD and others voted for tax reappraisal in the December/January timeframe, yet Humble ISD tabled their decision to await further information from Harris County. They also were not sure of the full extent of damage to Kingwood High School and other areas. To date, the district has now received a total of $28 million in payments from district insurance and FEMA combined. They’ve also successfully reopened Kingwood High and are saving the $8,000 per day in transportation costs incurred to bus affected students to Summer Creek High School.
