Frisco ISD sets cap on enrollment, students to be bused.
The district grew more than 20 percent from last year to nearly 20,000 students this fall. Projections call for roughly 30,000 students within a few years.
The district will open four new elementary schools in 2006-07, allowing schools that are above or near the enrollment limit this year to fall back to normal levels.
“The growth is happening so fast – even in the middle of the school year,” said Buddy Minett, school board president. “We’ve got a situation where we’re just over capacity, not just in the classroom but in common spaces like cafeterias, and we just can’t take any more people.”
The cap is a first for Frisco ISD. McKinney ISD, another fast-growing district, has enrollment caps at some elementary schools.
Will this cause you to think twice about moving to Frisco?
