 Frisco has a higher percentage of teachers and professional support
than the state average.
 The same percentage is found for campus administration.
 Lower percentages exist for central administration, educational aides,
and auxiliary staff.
 These numbers are reflective of the commitment of FISD to provide
support to students and teachers at the campus level.
Teachers by Ethnicity
With a state and national decline in percentage of minority teachers
available for hire, the best indicator for improvement is yearly gains made
by the district. The chart below shows gains for the last four years in
professional staffing. While the AEIS report is for 2008-09 data, also
included is the hiring information for 2000-10.

Benefits of AP Program
for Students
Students who complete AP courses are:
 likely to complete more college level work
76

 More likely to take additional college courses


within the discipline of their AP coursework

 more likely to graduate with a double major

 twice as likely to go into advanced study

Willingham & Morris, 1986; UT Study 1988


Benefits of AP Program for Students
 Taking AP increases eligibility for scholarships and
makes candidates more attractive to colleges.
77

 31 percent of colleges and universities consider


student’s AP experience when making decisions
about which students will receive scholarships.

 85 percent of selective colleges and universities


report that a student’s AP experience favorably
impacts admissions decisions.

AP and the Cost of College

 A 2008 study found that AP students had


better four-year graduation rates than those
who did not take AP. For example, graduation
78

rates for AP English Literature students were


62 percent higher than graduation rates for
those who took other English courses in high
school.
 The typical college cost per year for a four-
year public institution is $7,662 for in-state
students and $18,629 for out-of-state
students. (tuition, fees, and books only)

BOARD OF TRUSTEES AGENDA ITEM

YOUR NAME: SCHOOL OR DEPARTMENT:

Doug Zambiasi Administrative Services

DATE: January 11, 2010

ITEM (BRIEF AGENDA HEADING):

Consider and act on direction for employee health insurance plan for 2010-2011

Action Item X or Information Item

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

We have studied the advantages and disadvantages of the Frisco ISD self-funded plan and

compared it with the TRS ActiveCare plan. We believe we should remain with our current plan

at this time but work with our consultant in the areas of benefits and premiums in an effort to

more closely mirror the ActiveCare plan. We will continue to monitor our plan's cash reserve

and changes made to the ActiveCare plan in an on-going effort to provide our employees the

best care at the lowest cost.

RECOMMENDATION:

We recommend a motion to approve Frisco ISD participation in their partially self-funded health

insurance plan in 2011-2011.

COMMENTS:

Budgeted and funded from FISD budget with no increase to district health insurance contribution.
