The Texas Legislature meets in Austin from January through May of each odd-numbered year. The 88th Legislative Session ran from January 10, 2023 - May 29, 2023.

Session Overview

Bills Enacted

Throughout each session, Frisco ISD government affairs staff tracks all proposed legislation pertaining to public education. Bills are categorized by issue, prioritized by potential impact, followed as they make their way through the process and ultimately bills that move are summarized. 

As a matter of practice, Frisco ISD does not take positions on specific bills introduced in the Legislature. The District strives to be a helpful resource for elected officials as they consider changes impacting public education.

FISD Legislative Priorties

The Texas Legislature meets in Austin from January through May of each odd-numbered year. Prior to the beginning of each legislative session, the Board of Trustees adopts legislative priorities for the upcoming session. In October 2022, the Frisco ISD Board of Trustees approved the priorities for the 88th Session of the Texas Legislature. The priorities were developed by the FISD Legislative Leadership Committee, a district committee made up of staff, students and community members to learn more about how local, state and federal governmental action impacts the school district. The committee was tasked with exploring issues that could be considered by state lawmakers in the next legislative session, as well as areas where action by the state could help Frisco ISD better serve students and the community.

Legislative Testimony

During the legislative session, lawmakers hold hearings to discuss the impact of proposed legislation. Between sessions, hearings are also held for committees to gather information related to their interim charges or topics they are assigned to study by chamber leadership. 

Hearings often include both invited and public testimony from stakeholders and experts. Frisco ISD participates throughout the session and the interim by providing information to legislators regarding the interim charge or likely impact of proposed bills on the district and public schools generally. Any time a representative of Frisco ISD provides oral testimony in a committee hearing, the district also submits written testimony to provide additional or supporting information to the committee members.
