During the meeting, Bonser said her older sister was diagnosed with liver cancer last year. “Over the winter break, we just didn’t get the news that we had hoped for,” Bonser said. “So with a lot of thought and prayer and conversation, Several board members said Bonser’s retirement was being
I am going to live the values that I have always asked my sta to do, which is to put your family rst. Because while I love being superintendent and I would only want to be a superinten- dent here ... this time with [my sister] is my priority.” Board President David Stolle said the district plans to celebrate Bonser’s career and the role she has played in PISD’s success at a later date. “While there is a touch of sadness in the air, we are not saying goodbye today,” Stolle said. “Today there is work to do, and there will be work to do every day to maintain and build upon what you and your teams and all of our teams in Plano ISD have established.” Stolle then explained the district

Report forecasts gradual enrollment rebound for district PLANO ISD Following a student decline of nearly 5% between the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years, a demography report presented to the Plano ISD board of trustees Feb. 8 shows the district’s enrollment gures are expected to decrease by around 1% per year through 2027-28. After that, the report predicts min- imal decreases of enrollment each year until 2031-32, when the district is expected to see a 0.3% increase. “We expected a pretty good bounce back [this year, but] we did not bounce back as much as we thought,” consultant Rocky Gardner from Zonda Demographics said. “[PISD] declined by about 800 students [this year]. We really expected it to come back a little stronger than that, [and] we’re not sure exactly where some of these students are now.” Gardner said the lack of available homes at a ordable price points was a factor in the projected future decreases of expected students for the district. “We are projecting [enrollment] to continue to bounce back gradually,” Gardner said.
