| “ | Ashley has served on the Katy ISD Board of Trustees since May 2014. Ashley is and has been invested & involved in KISD. She has called Katy home for almost thirty years. She is a James E. Taylor High School graduate. J Scot Vann, her husband of 23 years, is a graduate of Katy High School. Their three children, ages 13, 17 and 19, all proudly attend or have graduated from KISD schools.
Ashley believes every KISD child deserves a world-class education, while going to school each day in a safe and productive environment. Her vision has always been to help KISD ensure every student is a life-long learner, every learner is a graduate, and every graduate has the tools & knowledge to pursue their dreams. That it must be a top priority of KISD to hire the best and the brightest to teach and to lead the students of the district. Ashley has been a conservative steward of the district budget, recognizing the funds come from the taxpayers of the district and has ensured they are used in the best interest of students of KISD. Also, it has always been Ashley’s goal to preserve the legacy of Katy ISD and hopes to continue to do so in the coming years as a KISD trustee.[8] |
