Plano ISD unequivocally rejects antisemitism, racism and all forms of hate, and takes every allegation of discrimination with the utmost seriousness.

Plano ISD was not a party to recent legal proceedings involving former Jasper High School Choir Booster Club officers. Plano ISD did not file any suit against the former booster club.
