The Plano ISD Board of Trustees appointed the Facilities and Technology Study Task Force in August, 2015 comprising school district and community leaders. The task force has met several times this spring to review enrollment trends and projections, establish construction and renovation needs, visit school facilities and validate costs.
Rebecca Egelston Caso, pictured at the December 3 task force meeting, serves as chair of the community-based committee.
"It has been eight years since the school district has held a bond issue to address major facilities and technology needs," said Nancy Humphrey, school board president. "The 2008 bond election handled several major projects and was initially planned to provide for capital needs through 2012. It’s lifespan will soon be almost twice what was originally intended, and now it is the community's decision to consider our district's needs.
"The task force members have an extreme commitment to their charge, and our trustees understand the significance of our community's tax dollar investment in schools," continued Ms. Humphrey. "Among our district's key goals is a commitment that those tax dollars are effectively and efficiently managed to provide quality education and programming for students."
