Frisco ISD trustees are scheduled to hold a workshop from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26, at the district's administration building, 5515 Ohio Drive, for the October update on its Sustainability Plan.
The district lists the session as the plan's October 2026 update in the resource list attached to its latest article on the bond planning committee. The listing does not say what will be presented.
What the plan covers
Frisco ISD describes the Sustainability Plan as its operational and financial roadmap for dealing with falling enrollment. Because state funding follows students, the district says fewer students means less money, while costs such as buildings, utilities and a base level of staff stay about the same. District leaders have said they expect enrollment and revenue to keep dropping in the coming years.
According to the district, enrollment topped out at just over 67,000 students in March 2023 and is now close to 62,000.
The plan rests on three approaches the district has named: matching resources to enrollment, finding operating efficiencies and adding revenue.
Where it stood in June
At the last public update in June, the district said it had saved millions of dollars over three years through steps such as staffing changes, enrollment balancing and standardized class loads. New or continuing revenue for 2026-27 included tuition-based prekindergarten, Frisco Flex options, fare-based busing and higher facility rental fees. The district called those short-term fixes, not a long-term answer.
The June update also looked at how full schools are by geographic sector rather than campus by campus. High schools and middle schools were meeting capacity goals, the district said, while several elementary sectors had fallen into what it calls a critical range, below 65% of capacity.
