Frisco Insider - FISD Subpoenaed + Burglaries + More

Howdy, Frisco.

It’s Monday, you’ve survived the heat, dodged the mosquitoes, and probably contemplated moving into Costco just for the AC. I’ve got your rundown of what’s happening in town, and some serious news too.

Let’s get into it.

Frisco ISD Subpoenaed Over Student Info Tied to April Track Meet Stabbing

Frisco ISD just informed parents that student records will be released in connection to the April 2 stabbing of Austin Metcalf, unless families object by Tuesday, July 29.

What’s going on:
A court subpoena is requesting personal details of all Memorial High School students who were at the Kuykendall Stadium track meet, where 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed.

🔍 Details being requested:

• Full names

• Dates of birth

• Addresses

• Parents’ names + contact info

🤔 Why this matters:
The subpoena overrides FERPA protections, but parents can challenge it by filing a motion and notifying the district before Tuesday. Frisco ISD says it must comply with the subpoena if no protective action is taken.

Last year:

Meet the new head coach:
Ally Cobb, former assistant and familiar face, is taking the reins. With four key starters returning, including LSU commit Hannah Lee, expectations are sky high.
