Frisco Parents Show Frustration With New Attendance Zones

The Frisco school board meeting Monday night was packed to the gills with families, the majority of which were concerned about possible major changes in their kids' future school days.

The plans to redraw attendance zones in preparation for the opening of Independence High School next year was met with opposition from parents whose children live close enough to their current schools to walk or bike.

Many subdivisions, such as Cypress Creek, are only about a mile away from Centennial High, however will be absorbed in to the new Independence Zone.

Much of the frustration stems from the fact that the proposed zones will only be in place for two years before two more high school are slated to open.

Changes to elementary school attendance zones were also up for discussion for the first time Monday as the district prepares to open four elementary campuses next year — Newman, Scott, McSpedden and Hosp, which was named at Monday’s meeting.

The high school zones will be finalized next month, and the elementary zones are set to be adopted in January.
