STATEMENT OF IMPACT
Keller ISD does not support the granting of, a Charter to the Westlake Academy. The
Westlake Academy will have a significant negative impact on the Keller Independent
School District. The impact includes, but is not limited to, an impact on the financial
resources, fiscal stability, bond ratings, contractual obligations, infrastructure, program
design, and estimating for all planned activities of the Keller Independent School
District.
Keller ISD is committed to becoming one of the top school districts in the state, The
Keller School District encompasses nine cities. Currently, there are 27 students who
live in Westlake that are attending Keller ISD schools, 3 who are attending Carroil ISD
schools, and 0 students attending Northwest ISD schools. The Town of Westlake does
not have a student population to support a Charter School in its community. Westlake
Academy has the potential of diverting a number of Keller ISO's quality students.
The Keller Independent School District offers students who reside in Westlake the
opportunity to attend Texas Education Agency Exemplary elementary, intermediate,
middle and high schools. The elementary as well as the high school that Westlake
students attencl have been recognized as a Nat"I Blue Ribbon School by the U.S.
Department of Education, The SAT scores for KISD students are among the highest in
the area.
Every teacher in the Keller Independent School District Is trained in the thirty (30) hour
gifted and talented training required by the Texas Education Agency. This training
affords all students the opportunity to partake of a curriculum, which is enhanced for
their needs. Recent survey results indicate that parents give high marks to the
instructional strategies offered through the gifted and talented training.
Keller students may participate in a variety of programs which enhance learning; middle
school students may compete yearly in the Duke Talent search for outstanding middle
school students; high school students participate yearly in the Academic Decathlon
Competition. Both high school teams have placed in the top 10 in the state large school
competition over the last three years.

Keller is presently planning a Fine Arts Magnet High School that will serve students in
the Westlake area.
A Keller Independent School district high school student may take advantage of a
strong Advanced Placement program in math, language arts, science, and social
studias which can garner as much as 12 hours of college credit per subject. In addition,
students may enroll in Dual Enrollment classes in language arts, which will garner as
much as three college credits. Through these programs, students can graduate with
enough college credit to be granted sophomore status. In fact, the 1999 Keller High
School Valedictorian graduated with over 40 hours of college credit prior to entering
Texas A&M University.
KIST? hosts an elementary UIl_ meet in which surrounding districts' schools and KISD
elementary s&ool students participate. Students in elementary grades have
opportunities to be active in Odyssey of the Mind or Destination Imagination
competition. Intermediate and secondary students may participate in a variety of
academic and fine arts UIl_ competition.

STATE` ONTO IMPACT
'NorThwest ISD does not support the granting of a Charter to the Westlake Acadrmy,The Westlake
Ac:aderrry will have a significant nzgativc impact on the Northwest Independent Sc tool District.'The
impact inchrdes,but is not limited to,an impact on the financial rescurYzcs,fiscal stability,bond ratings,
contrrctaial obligations, infrastructure,program design,&Ccuratc torccasting,and estimating for all
p4anned activiriek oftheNorthwest ISD-
Northwest ISI)is committed to becoming one of the top school districts in flee state.The Town of
We%tfdkc is located in three school districts. Northwcst ISD,Carroll ISD,and Kcllcr ISD.Currently,there
arc no studenis who live in We alakc who are attending Northwest*ISD schools,and only twenty-sik
students who are attending Keller ISD schools and throe who are amending Carroll ISD schools. The
Town of Westlake does not have u studont population to support a Charter School in its eommuaity.
Westlake Academy has the potential of diverting a number of Northwest LSD's quality students due to its
proximity to the Town cfTrophy Club,the largest community in the Northwest ISD and the location of
two Northwest ISD TEA Exemplar} and two Recognized schools.
Northwest ISD rcachcd Chapter 41 statics in 2000 and passed a S182 million bond election in rebruary
2001.The loss of students will have adefinite impact on the disirict's financial resourced,program
design,and accurate enrol InrunL fcrui;aJing. Since Northwest ISD is a Chapter A l dlsirict,the toffs of
students will reduce the district's Weighted Average Daily Attendance(WADA).The district's recapture
payment will also increase as a result of the loss in WADA. I'Manuially,the district will lose ar portion of
the available school fund. If one-third of-the prr�jected 400-student enrollment for Westlake Academy is
front Northwest ISTD,thv district will pay$684,300 in Recapture Tax and will lose$32,994 from the
Available School Fund.The district hou the potential of losing S6,5 million in operating fonds over the
next five years(See attachment A-I).
r1,s cnrolhtccnt irwrcases for tite Westlake Academy,Northwest ISD,a rapidly growing Chapter 4 t
district,will be Por ed to evaluate a variety of budget scenarios,all of which may result in the reduction
of teaching positions,staff programs rind essential sotvices to its students. '(*lis will adversely affect the
district's gull to provide a quality education program_
In Westl:ile Academy's application,it implies that there is a meed for a school that offers a rigorous
curriculum. The Northwest IST Board of Trustees'vision is for the NISD to become a top:school district
in the ytai.C. Based upon TEA evaliotive data student performance,staff evaluation,and community
input;the district is well underway to achieving this goal, Northwest ISD offers a rigorous curriculum
with sixicen 06)Advanced Placement courses,Prc-AP courses,advanced tecItnology and college
concurrent credit courses. Northwest TSD is committed to of eriu$its students s duality and challenging
educational program. Losing any of the district's top students would be extremely detrimental. The
district emphasizes that there is not a necessity to create a Charter Sehoul in this area.In support of its
position, the district requests the State Board of Education to note the opposition submitted by Carroll
iSD and Fidler ISH the other Affected districts by tlic Westlake Acadorny application.Therefore,the
Northwest Independent School District requests the open enrol Intent charter school application for
Westlake Academy be dtaied.
