Green Trails’ annual FourTh oF July Parade and Pool ParTy Despite being on a Wednesday this year, Green Trails’ Annual Fourth of July Parade and Pool bike and ride from Crescent Green park to Gerri Ayers pool. They were cheered on by folks who camped out along the parade route to enjoy the event. After the parade, everyone celebrated our country’s birthday and stayed cool with watermelon, popsicles, play time in the pool and a hula hoop contest. A special thanks goes to our volunteers: Jim and Summer Austin, Peter Bell, Kristie Poldervaart, Chelo Johnson, Steve, Laurie and Scott Sawyer and Abigail Elkins for helping with the event. Green Trails would also like to thank the West I-10 Fire Department and the Harris Country Constables for leading the parade and making sure the day was both fun and safe.

If you have spots in your yard that are yellowing or dying, chinch bugs could be the culprit. But, be sure you are treating the right problem. Another problem is also appearing in neighborhood lawns: Take-all Root Rot fungus. It attacks both St. Augustine and Bermuda lawns stressed by too much or too little water. It can appear in hot weather, unlike Brown Patch fungus, which usually appears when nights are cooler. Go to www.plantanswers.com/root_

PARENTS: Tweens and teens have been observed damaging our tennis courts and the equipment held within. Your yearly maintenance fees pay for this vandalism directly. Our goal is to keep these costs down while maintaining the nice amenities in our neighborhood for all residents. Please let your children know if they are observed abusing our courts and/or their equipment, the Constable will be called to escort them home. Anyone can report vandalism directly to the Constable at 281-463-6666, in the effort to keep our neighborhood’s common areas in good condition.

KATY ISD ANNOUNCES TRANSPORTATION CHANGES FOR 2012 - 2013 The Katy ISD Board of Trustees approved a change in the eligibility requirements for students to receive transportation services. Starting in August 2012, the eligibility for bus transportation will change from the current 3/10 of a mile to approximately 1/2 mile for elementary students and approximately one mile for junior high and high school students. Bus transportation will continue to be provided for students for whom a hazardous condition may exist between home and school, as well as special needs bus routes. Approximately 52 bus routes (elementary and secondary) will be eliminated, affecting approximately 6,600 students or nearly 21% of the 32,000 students that ride school buses daily. The Katy ISD Transportation Department available for parents sometime in August dates once they become available. The changes are the result of the Transportation Department experiencing available to meet daily transportation route requirements. Due to vacant routes and driver absences, there have been days in which the department changes will allow the district to better meet route driver needs and will provide for more effective route management, including driver training and driver support in issues involving student management. “The change in transportation services comes after extensive review of our current transportation operations that not only revealed a heavy burden for drivers covering multiple routes, but also a high amount of uncertainty and risk due to vacant routes and driver absences,” said Katy ISD Superintendent Alton Frailey. “In comparison to other school districts, Katy ISD’s transportation eligibility distances remain among the shortest in the Houston area as many districts require students to live outside of a two mile radius.”
