FISD 

The kids at FISD are out for spring break next week, March 11-15. Superintendent Dr. Jeff Harvey spoke about the new fence surrounding the school. “It’s necessary to protect our kids. We received a grant to cover the expenses so our budget isn’t affected. The fence is equipped with an electronic gate and Its both secure and appealing,” said Harvey. The fence is comprised of wrought iron in the front and chain link in the back.
