View the 2023-2024 Annual Report

Dear Plano ISD Community:

On behalf of the Plano ISD Board of Trustees and leadership team, we are proud to present our 2023-24 Annual Report. This year’s theme, Level Up, reflects our commitment to honoring our history, living our legacy and advancing our future as we strive for excellence in every aspect of our district. Throughout the 2023-24 school year, Plano ISD continued to place students at the center of every decision, guided by our ongoing efforts to engage, empower and elevate all learners. In partnership with our Board of Trustees, staff, families and community partners, we worked to create an environment where every student is inspired and equipped to reach their unique potential. This year, we launched several initiatives to ensure our students are future-ready. The Plano for Your Future campaign connected students with pathways and resources to help them envision and prepare for life beyond graduation. We implemented the new Superintendent Scholars Award program, celebrating academic achievement and student growth across our campuses.

A major highlight of the year was the vertical alignment of our high schools and senior high schools. By unifying mascots, school colors and traditions across grades 9-12, we strengthened school pride and a sense of belonging for all students, while also streamlining participation in extracurricular programs and athletics. We also celebrated a truly historic achievement as the Plano East Senior High School boys basketball team completed a perfect 40-0 season and captured the UIL Class 6A State Championship—the first in school history.

As part of our commitment to long-term planning and responsible resource management, the district completed a comprehensive Long Range Facility Plan. Developed with input from various stakeholders, this plan positions Plano ISD for long-term success by ensuring our facilities and resources are aligned with enrollment trends and student needs. The board’s approval of this plan in June 2024 marked a critical step in supporting efficient, equitable learning environments for all students. We recognize the significant impact of closing four schools in 2025-26 and are dedicated to ensuring a smooth, supportive transition for everyone affected.

Instructional excellence remained a top priority with this year’s district-wide Curriculum Management Audit. This effort resulted in actionable recommendations to help strengthen academic outcomes and ensure all students have access to high-quality learning experiences. Student and staff safety continued to be a foundational focus. In response to new state requirements, we implemented the Plano ISD School Marshal Program, adding a dedicated layer of security to our elementary campuses and early childhood centers. At the secondary level, Plano ISD will continue its long-standing partnership with local police departments through the School Resource Officer (SRO) program, ensuring ongoing support and safety at our middle, high and senior high schools.

Our progress this year would not have been possible without the strong partnerships we share with families, local businesses and the broader Plano community. Working alongside our Plano ISD Education Foundation, we have strengthened connections and expanded opportunities and support for students and staff—from classroom resources to academic enrichment. We look forward to building on this momentum and supporting every student as they level up to meet the opportunities of tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Dr. Theresa Williams, Superintendent of Schools
