Construction on the new Plano ISD Welcome and Enrollment Center began Dec. 12. The new center—located just southwest of Plano at 6210 Mapleshade Lane, Dallas—will provide support services to help “promote student success,” according to a news release from the district. Services at the new facility will include: • Enrollment, transfers and notarization of district documents
