Election
BY HANNAH JOHNSON
KEY: *Incumbent
Frisco ISD board of trustees, Place 3
What are the biggest challenges Frisco ISD is facing? 1) Unfunded and underfunded state-mandated services costing FISD over $60M, combined with inflationary pressures which have resulted in a $105M reduction in purchase power. 2) Teacher compensation, support and retention. 3) Maintaining our successful opportunity model. 4) Promoting meaningful engagement with parents and following through with responses.
Why are you running for school board?
As an educator and parent of two young children, I’m committed to creating an environment that empowers students, supports and compensates hardworking educators and keeps parents actively engaged and well-informed. I’m driven by facts and progress, not division and national agendas. I’ll listen to our community and do the work.

I am running for re-election in order to continue advocating for students, teachers, staff, families and community members. We have accomplished a lot in the past three years and there is more work to be done. We have unique challenges now which will require experienced leadership.
Teacher and staff turnover has improved but remains a critical area of opportunity. The budget is also a challenge as the district has had three deficit budgets in a row and that can’t continue. Enrollment is another area of concern for Frisco ISD. This will lead to further funding challenges.
