At a recent work session, the Plano ISD Board of Trustees reviewed the work of the appointed Feeder School Alignment Committee and elected to allow more time to consider two very important submissions from the committee. School Board President Lloyd Jenkins formed two subcommittees of board members, one to research the guiding principle of no split feeders and one to research balancing school enrollment based on socioeconomic factors. All board members expressed the need for more time to study the community’s concerns, making December 15 the target date for a final decision.

Jana Fry, Williams High School Humanities and Advanced Placement World History teacher, has captured the "Outstanding Teaching of the Humanities" award from the Texas Humanities / National Endowment for the Humanities. "I have always been drawn to history and cultures," said Ms. Fry. "But I do not teach history, first and foremost, I teach kids. History is simply the vehicle. I love teaching the humanities class because we get to explore all of the cultural aspects of history such as art, music, philosophy and literature.
On September 1, 2009, a new law was enacted by the Texas legislature that
prohibits the use of cell phones and texting while driving through a
school zone (unless using a hands-free device).
