On Dec. 1, the Frisco ISD board of trustees held a special workshop to discuss revisions to the rezoning plans that would affect about 3,000 students. Several parents were in attendance.
At a Nov. 9 public hearing, several dozen parents voiced their concerns about their children having to transfer schools next year. For some it would be for the third or fourth time their child had been transferred.

Several parents, which included a large group of parents from the Cascades neighborhood in McKinney, submitted petitions against the rezoning plans presented to the board in October and submitted their proposals for the district to consider.
The initial plans would transfer students from Comstock Elementary School to Ashley Elementary School, a move that parents said would divide not only the school zone but the community. Parents said their children have been rezoned four times and the plans would have made this a fifth time.
During the workshop, the district presented new plans that would let the students stay at Comstock. However, administrators noted that the school would have to be rezoned sooner rather than later as growth continues in that area.
Overall, the district introduced revisions to four out of the six rezoning maps.
FISD Superintendent Jeremy Lyon said he expected to receive more calls and emails from parents about the new revisions but he hoped this would relieve some of the parents' concerns.
The revisions are not final and the board is expected to make a final decision on the plans on Dec. 14.
