Frisco ISD to end school a week early in the 2026-27 school year

Frisco ISD students will be out of school a week earlier than usual in the 2026-27 school year due to the upcoming PGA Championship.

The championship, which will be held the week of May 17, 2027, creates operational and safety concerns that district officials began discussing a year ago, FISD Deputy Superintendent Todd Fouche said during a Nov. 17 board meeting.

Put in perspective: Officials estimate the PGA Championship will bring in 30,000 people daily to Frisco. Fouche explained that a temporary city will essentially be built in the northwest side of the school district near about nine FISD schools and that the tournament will not just affect those schools, but the entire FISD community.

District leaders met with the Frisco Police and Fire Departments, emergency medical services and city officials, Fouche said, and determined from a safety and security standpoint that the best way to move forward was to end the school year a week earlier than typical.

Google commits $40B to 3 data new centers, infrastructure in Texas through 2027

Google is targeting Texas for future investments in data and artificial infrastructure, with $40 billion expected to be spent on adding three new data centers.

Federal, state and local leaders announced the new centers to be constructed in Armstrong and Haskell counties at a Nov. 14 event at the first Texas Google Data Center in Midlothian, near the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The gist: One new data center will be constructed in Armstrong County near Amarillo, and two new data centers will be constructed in Haskell County near Abilene. One center in Haskell County will also use a new solar and battery energy storage plant.

“They say that everything is bigger in Texas—and that certainly applies to the golden opportunity with AI,” Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said.

Also of note: The driverless car company Waymo is expanding to North Texas in 2026, Pichai said.
