RENDERING COURTESY PROSPER ISD, HUCKABEE
FEATURED IMPACT COMING SOON Construction is underway for Prosper ISD’searly childhood center, which is scheduled to open in August 2023 at 450 N. Luckenbach Drive in McKinney for 3- and 4-year-olds. The district made plans for the campus after House Bill 3 passed in the 86th Texas Legislature. The bill requires all Texas public school districts to provide full-day pre-K programs to eligible 4-year-olds. When the bill was passed and signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott, Prosper ISD only o ered half- day programs for preschool children, according to Deputy Superintendent Greg Bradley. To ful ll the 2019 state requirement for a full-day program, Prosper ISD added full-day instruction with 18 pre-K classrooms, 15 of them being housed at Reeves Elementary in McKinney.
“By consolidating all our pre-K students into one school, we would be able to provide an extraordinary opportunity to create an awesome learning environment for our littlest learners,” Bradley said. Construction is slated for an Aug. 1, 2023 completion date. “The Early Childhood School is going to be an engaging, innovative environment,” Superintendent of Schools Holly Ferguson said.
