FRISCO ISD Plans for an expansion and renovation to the Frisco ISD Career and Technical Education Center are progressing. The FISD board of trustees on Jan. 11 received a presenta- tion fromKonrad Judd, chief design o cer with architecture rmHuckabee. The presentation shared renderings, oor plans and a construction schedule for the facility at 9889 Wade Blvd. The project is included in the district’s voter-approved 2018 bond program. The cost in 2018 was projected to be $21 million in order to allow about 1,000 additional students per day to take classes at the center and expand programming, the district’s website states.

The parking spaces will not be replaced, the presentation stated. Construction is expected to last fromAugust to May 2024, according to the presentation.
