Support the Frisco Rail District and give back to your school. The Frisco Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate in the Receipt Race and help local businesses during construction in the downtown Frisco Area.
How it Works:
- Shop, dine, do business with/buy from any Frisco Rail District business (see the Old Town Commercial map at the link below) between Now and December 31, 2024.
- Save your receipts! Dollar amounts do not matter.
- Turn receipts in Cobb PTA (there will be a drop box in the front office) no later than January 15, 2025. (Digital receipts cannot be accepted and must be printed before being turned in.)
- The PTA with the most receipts can win up to $5,000!
Frisco ISD has 4 propositions on the ballot this year:
Proposition A is a VATRE (Voter-Approved Tax Rate Election), which proposes a tax increase of less than 3 cents to fund operating expenses like teacher salaries, utilities, and student programming.
Propositions B, C, and D: Bonds for Campus Upkeep & Technology
100% of bond funds stay within FISD. View a complete list of projects by campus. School bond ballots are required by state law to include the statement “This is a property tax increase.” even though these bonds are not projected to result in an additional tax increase.
- Proposition B: Over 20 campuses are nearing 25 years old, and this proposition will fund essential updates like:
- 25-year campus refresh
- Staley Middle School replacement
- General facility maintenance, paving, landscape repairs
- Safety & security improvements
- New turf for baseball/softball fields with seating less than 1,000
- Transportation and equipment needs
