Plano ISD Education Foundation Kicks Off Community Honor Roll Program

The Plano ISD Education Foundation has kicked off its annual community honor roll program with a mailing to 90,000 Plano ISD taxpayers. All participants donating more than $100 through the fundraising and awareness campaign will receive a yard sign to proudly display their support for Plano ISD. The Foundation funds priority programs identified by the District. Funds provided to the district by the Foundation remain in Plano ISD and are not subject to recapture by the state. “The greatest investment any of us can make is in the future of our children,” said Ralph Stow, Foundation president. “Every gift matters.”
