School resumed following the winter break last week, but the first day of the next school year may be on the minds of others already.
During its Tuesday meeting, the Killeen ISD school board is expected to adopt the 2023-2024 calendar.
If adopted as presented, the first day of school will be Aug. 14 and the last day of school would be May 23, 2024. Students would be released Dec. 21 for the winter break and return to class on Jan. 9, 2024. Spring Break would be from March 11-15, 2024.
The school board will also look at approving an increase in funds necessary for the Sheridan Transportation Facility expansion project.
Due to two existing underground fuel storage tanks needing to be replaced, the project will cost an additional $665,572, according to documents attached to the agenda for the meeting.
Despite the increase, the project as a whole should still come in under-budget.
In its entirety, the project will expand the bus barn on the south side of the city, which is at capacity with 110 buses. The district has said previously that it expects to need around 150 more buses by 2039.
Other topics on the agenda include:
- Discuss the Strategic Facilities Plan
- Discussion of district administrative procedures for district employee investigations
The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. in the district’s administration building at 200 N. W.S. Young Drive. The meeting will also be streamed live at www.killeenisd.org/livetv and on KISD TV Channel 17.

They said that Killeen would have an increase of more than 10,000 students in the next couple years when they requested the bonds to build all those schools and stadiums. As of right now we currently have a 3000 decrease since that bond request. They build schools so builders come and put 1000s of homes for increased tax revenue this is why in a lot of states builders are required to supply money or building.as of now inflation is hurting america building slowing down. They continue to build and expand when we are at a all-time high in building and apr cost. Clearly none are doing the right thing and I 💬 it may have to do with QPQ. My kids still get microwave food in melted bags every day as they continue to spend money on building things that we don't need at this time. They need to fire the superintendent!!!!!
