Plano ISD Council of PTAs

📢 Attention all PTA leaders: Help us add 5,000 more members before the membership year ends by joining this campaign! It's simple: join ONE additional PTA, update your profile picture with the image below, and share the following challenge with others who care about Texas students, families, teachers, and public schools!
👉 Here’s the challenge:

I Joined One More PTA for Public Schools! I believe every child deserves a voice, and that's why I joined one more PTA.

As we look ahead to the next legislative session, every PTA membership helps strengthen our voice for Texas students, families, and schools. One membership may seem small, but together, those voices create positive change.

⭐️ I joined one more PTA because students and teachers matter.
⭐️ I joined one more PTA because all families matter.
⭐️ I joined one more PTA because public schools matter.

Our collective voice matters! Will you join one more, too?

How can you help?
1. Join another PTA
2. Update Your Profile picture with the image below.
3. Share this Challenge!

One More for Public Schools. One More for Our Kids. One More PTA Member.

Plano ISD trustees are reviewing a proposed tax rate decrease for next fiscal year. 💰

The rate would drop to $1.0328 per $100 of appraised value, continuing a trend of reductions driven by state-mandated changes. However, rising home values mean most homeowners will still see an increase in what they owe. The board is set to adopt the budget in July and officially adopt the tax rate in August.
