Boundary Changes to Accommodate High School in McKinney

15 Apr, 09:14 PM
Frisco ISD worked with Allen ISD to adjust common boundary to provide greater flexibility with construction of a future school.

The Frisco ISD School Board approved minor changes this week that will impact the boundary between FISD and Allen ISD in the City of McKinney.

The land is undeveloped; therefore no students currently live in the affected areas and none will be impacted by the adjustment.

The changes, however, will eliminate concerns regarding the future construction of a Frisco ISD high school near the northwest corner of Stacy Road and Collin McKinney Parkway in McKinney.

“This adjustment will give us greater flexibility in terms of the layout of the site, including how the school and athletic fields will be situated, where access, circulation and parking will go and other design considerations,” said Frisco ISD Deputy Superintendent for Business Services Richard Wilkinson.

Current enrollment projections show that an additional high school may be needed in this area as early as the fall of 2019. That timeframe, or the location of the next high school, could change as FISD monitors and updates projection figures annually.  

Three areas in the City of McKinney will be impacted by the boundary adjustment including:

MOVING FROM ALLEN ISD TO FRISCO ISD

26+ Acre Site

  • Northwest corner of Stacy Road and Collin McKinney Parkway
  • Zoned MU/RET/O-2 (Mixed Use, Retail, Office)

MOVING FROM FRISCO ISD TO ALLEN ISD

11+ Acre Site

  • Southeast Corner of Wieskopf Avenue and Van Tuyl Parkway
  • Zoned EC -1 (Employment Center)

11+ Acre Site

  • Northwest Corner of Weiskopf Avenue and Henneman Way
  • Zoned EC – 1 (Employment Center)

Texas Education Code allows school districts to adjust their common boundary by agreement if, at the time the agreement is executed:

  • no child who resides in the territory that is transferred from one jurisdiction to the other is enrolled in a school of the district from which the territory is transferred; and
  • the taxable value of the territory that is transferred from one jurisdiction to the other does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total taxable value of all property in the school district from which the territory is transferred.

In this case, Frisco ISD worked with Allen ISD to ensure the boundary adjustment would not negatively impact AISD’s opportunity for taxable revenue.

“We wanted to be a good neighbor and ensure Allen ISD would not lose taxable property as a result of us acquiring land for a new high school,” Wilkinson said.

Frisco ISD has worked with neighboring school districts in the past on arrangements like these in situations where a boundary adjustment benefits both districts, has a neutral impact on values and limits confusion for future residents.
