With a new middle school set to open in the 2026-27 school year, Prosper ISD officials have set new attendance zones for its middle school campuses.

The district's board of trustees approved the attendance boundaries during a Nov. 17 board meeting. 

Some context: While two new schools, Bridges and Watkins middle schools, will be completed before the 2026-27 school year, the district plans to only operate Bridges Middle next school year due to current enrollment projections.

Quote of note: "We are still growing ... but we are not growing at the extreme rates we've seen the last three years," PISD Deputy Superintendent Bill McLaughlin said in the meeting. 

Students attending Reynolds and Moseley middle schools will remain at their campus for the 2026-27 school year. District officials anticipate opening Watkins Middle in the 2027-28 school year.

Nine new medical cannabis dispensaries could soon open in Texas, the Department of Public Safety announced Dec. 1.

The overview: The nine companies were preliminarily approved to join three existing dispensaries that provide medical-grade, low-THC products to eligible patients through the Texas Compassionate Use Program. The program's expansion comes after state lawmakers passed House Bill 46 this spring.

Lawmakers also allowed dispensaries to store products in multiple locations, which advocates said would cut costs, and added more qualifying conditions to the program.
