NEWS UPDATE

MISD increases internet offerings

Following revisions to the McKinney Independent School District’s main webpage, the redesign effort, which the district hopes will provide quicker access to information, has now shifted to individual departments. Recently, the district’s athletic site has been revamped, and the plan is to follow that project with a similar site for fine arts, which is estimated to be complete by Spring Break, and then to begin work on campus sites. Those will start with the elementary schools and then progress to the middle and high school levels, respectively.

Cody Cunningham, Assistant to the Superintendent for Communications, said the goal is to provide web pages that are simple to navigate and provide the information parents are looking for. The new athletic hopes to satisfy that desire with links to schedules and standings, a Fan Zone where photos can be uploaded by the community via Flickr and news links accessed, as well as Sports Talk and Athlete of the Week features.
