This past week was really exciting because I got the chance to speak with two people working in Frisco to hear how local control fits into their work. On Wednesday I met with John Classe of the Frisco ISD Board of Trustees and had the opportunity to hear about the impact financial legislation at the state level has on school districts locally. After speaking with Will and Shona, I had this idea that school finance in Frisco is something that needs to get better, and that stance was largely reflected in what Mr. Classe had to say too. He pointed out that the property tax cap wouldn't do much to change FISD but is still something to keep and eye on moving forward. My conversation on Thursday with Nell Lange of the City Manager's office was interesting too, because it was clear talking to her how all the advocating Will and Shona are doing will have real implications in the city. Sometimes because my mentors are in more of a representative capacity, there aren't always concrete challenges they're facing, but in speaking with Ms. Lange, it was easy to see how the state cap to really impact Frisco. Overall it was a really interesting week and will help continue to guide my Final Product moving forward.
