Plano Independent School District (PISD or Plano ISD) is an independent school district in southwestern Collin County, Texas, United States, based in Plano.[3]
PISD is the 18th largest school district in Texas and the 82nd largest in the United States.[4] 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.[5]
The district named Sara Bonser as Interim Superintendent in November 2017.[6] 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.[7] Dr. Theresa Williams was voted in as superintendent in early 2022.[8]
In 2010, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.[9]
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.[3]
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.[10] These areas, annexed into the City of Dallas after 1960, are generally high-income.[11]
