As you know, PISD will be voting on a redistricting plan for the PISD in the very near future. "Quit the split" is not endorsing any of the plans as that is the decision of the PISD. We just want our children to have the same 4 year experience every other 9 - 12 grade students are currently given.

Jasper is not to be split by any of the current board plans but a new plan is being recommended (CW-1m) that would split Jasper and according to all past board recommendations no school in Plano was to split after the new senior high school was built. Each senior high school was to have 2 high schools as feeder schools.

Under the current split system at Jasper we have sports teams, academic programs, band, theater, choir etc, all trying to teach programs for 2 senior high schools thus the Jasper students are a great disadvantage when arriving at their senior high. They have to separate from their friends as well as not be well prepared in all of the senior high's programs because they were being taught programs of the other senior high school. They do not have a chance of leadership positions because they are a significant minority in the senior high school. It is affecting their chances of getting scholarships as well their self esteem.

By signing this petition you are agreeing NO HIGH SCHOOL in Plano should be split. This is not just about Jasper, it is about the entire PISD. Every student should have the right to enjoy a 4 year high school experience.

Please support "Quit the Split"

We OPPOSE any feeder plan that keeps a split at Jasper High School. Currently, Jasper High School is the only split school in PISD. We believe that the split feeder system is unfair to the students of Jasper and that continuing that split, no matter how you divide the students, is a negative in their High School experience. The split feed at Jasper divides the students’ and teachers’ loyalties, negatively effects overall school spirit, and opens the students up to many difficult choices regarding transfers and UIL activities that are a direct result of being faced with separation from friends after their sophomore year. High school is hard enough without adding this burden on our kids.



We SUPPORT the original guiding principles of the PISD Realignment Committee (http://www.pisd.edu/feeder.realignment.committee/FeederAlign.html) and the recommendations of the 2002 Blue Ribbon Boundary Task Force (http://www.pisd.edu/feeder.realignment.committee/blue.ribbon.task.force.pdf)) to eliminate split feeder schools within PISD.


We SUPPORT strengthening every PISD school by encouraging a sense of unity, school spirit and community that will continue through Middle School, High School AND Senior High
