Plano Independent School District
Plano Independent School District (PISD or Plano ISD) is an independent school district in southwestern Collin County, Texas, United States, based in Plano.
PISD is the 18th largest school district in Texas and the 82nd largest in the United States. The school district serves over 50,000 students and employs approximately 3,800 faculty members spread across 73 schools and 2 special and 4 early education centers. PISD's operating budget was US$683.9 million as of 2021.
The district named Sara Bonser as Interim Superintendent in November 2017. On March 6, 2018, Bonser became Superintendent of Plano ISD, becoming the first woman to hold the title of superintendent for the district. She retired in early 2022. Dr. Theresa Williams was voted in as superintendent in early 2022.
In 2010, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.
Plano ISD serves about 100 square miles (260 km2) of land, with 66 square miles (170 km2) of it within the City of Plano. The district also takes students from northern portions of Dallas, Richardson, Allen, Carrollton, Garland, Lucas, Murphy, Parker, and Wylie.
There are two areas in North Dallas that are in Plano ISD, both in Collin County: one that is east of Midway Road, south of the George Bush Turnpike, and west of Waterview Parkway; and a group of apartments around Horizon North Parkway. These areas, annexed into the City of Dallas after 1960, are generally high-income.
Plano ISD's educational structure differs from the typical U.S. educational pattern. Primary education in PISD, following the typical U.S. structure, consists of 44 elementary schools that serve the kindergarten through fifth grades. However, PISD's system of secondary education consists of 13 middle schools that serve the sixth through eighth grades, 6 'high schools' that serve the ninth and tenth grades, and 3 'senior high schools' that serve the eleventh and twelfth grades. The 'high school' and 'senior high school' system is a departure from the standard U.S. high school that serves the ninth through twelfth grades.[1]
PISD students attend schools based primarily on the geographic location of their homes. Schools of a lower level feed into specific schools at the next highest level. The three exceptions to the feeder system is for students wishing to participate in the International Baccalaureate program, the Health Sciences Academy, or the STEAM Academy.[2] Parents of students may also request transfers out of their students' assigned schools for various reasons (such as to take classes unique to a particular school).[3]
