Participants praised the district\u2019s vision for continued educational excellence as reflected in the updated facilities.<\/p>\n
“I found it absolutely fascinating to see how much construction is occurring in Plano, as well as the unique types of construction,” RSVP member Mark Ball said. “You’ve got schools that are being rebuilt featuring brand new things that I didn’t think about when I was in school, or my wife Jane, who was a former principal in the district, even was aware of. It really is an opportunity for the students to have such wonderful campuses.”<\/p>\n

RSVP is a district program offered at no cost to all Plano ISD community members age 60 and older. It provides free or discounted admission to most Plano ISD sporting and fine arts events with the RSVP Membership Card. Additionally, participants are invited to attend monthly activities to connect with Plano ISD teachers and students such as floral design, dance, visual arts, culinary arts and nature tour field trips. RSVP members also have opportunities to volunteer in the district.<\/p>\n
