The Plano (Texas) district is considering a $490
million bond proposal this spring for four new schools to the east and other
projects. Plano is inching toward the end of a school building boom that
stretched on for four decades, as the suburb shifted from farm town to corporate
boomtown. About 53,000 students enrolled in Plano schools this year.

students. But pockets of new development in Murphy, Parker and northeast
Richardson have spurred overcrowding in several schools on the east side of the
district.
