Plano ISD reported to the Texas Education Agency (TEA) that of the student transfers they track, 2,208 students transferred out of the District during the 2022-2023 school year: 1,410 to Charter Schools; 733 to Another Texas ISD and 65 to another education system (such as homeschooling or a virtual academy).
To put this in perspective, that’s like losing the entire Plano Senior High School student enrollment, which was 2,288 students in 2022-2023. Put another way, based on average Plano ISD elementary school enrollments of approximately 500 students, those transfers alone would equate to closing 4 elementary schools.
Whatever Plano ISD has been doing isn’t working to keep school-age children already in its boundaries in the Plano ISD system and to woo those back who have left yet still reside within the District. Where’s the innovation, District of Innovation?
