\"Frisco \"Frisco Frisco ISD bans e-scooters for students<\/a> <\/p>\n

A growing safety concern is behind the change for Frisco ISD students as they return to school. Police say they responded to dozens of incidents involving e-bikes and e-scooters last year.<\/p>\n

FRISCO, Texas – Frisco ISD students begin classes tomorrow morning, but they won’t be able to ride their e-scooters to school after the district changed its Student Code of Conduct.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

Frisco ISD has prohibited the use of e-scooters as part of an update to its Student Code of Conduct, the district confirmed in a statement.<\/p>\n

The change means students will no longer be able to ride e-scooters or e-bikes to and from schools in the district.<\/p>\n

The ban aligns with an ordinance the City of Frisco has had in place for over 20 years, which prohibits the use of e-bikes and e-scooters on public roadways.<\/p>\n

Frisco Police Chief David Shilson tells FOX 4’s Steven Dial his department responded to 35 incidents involving students on e-bikes or e-scooters during the spring semester of the 2025-26 school year.<\/p>\n

Shilson says the majority of those incidents took place right as school let out, which is a period of high car traffic.<\/p>\n

One incident involved a teen on a mini motorcycle who hit a jogger, seriously injuring both people involved. Shilson says students as young as 10-years-old have been seen riding e-bikes on roadways in Frisco.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“The fact that you put kids on the road with a scooter with cars, where drivers who may be distracted, that\u2019s not safe,” Shilson said.<\/p>\n

He continued by saying each incident will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and schools could potentially hold e-scooters if they end up being confiscated.<\/p>\n
