The Plano ISD Education Foundation launched the “$60 Million Reasons to Give”campaign that ended on June 30, 2011, to raise $60,000 from individuals in support of our district. This meaningful pursuit to raise $60,000 sent a strong message of camaraderie to our students, teachers and school officials that we are in this together.
The funds provided to the district by the Foundation remain in Plano ISD and are NOT subject to recapture. The Foundation funds priority programs identified by the District. View a complete list of programs.
