Here are the top stories in McKinney-Frisco today:

1. The Frisco ISD board of trustees recently got its first look at proposed zones for the 2022-23 school year. As Frisco’s population grows, rezoning takes place to preserve the district’s small school model, which supports students having opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities. Over the past 20 years, attendance zones have been changed 17 times to accommodate the opening of 61 new campuses, according to a district news release. (Community Impact Newspaper)
2. A 14-year-old boy is in critical condition after getting struck by a truck while riding a bicycle near Independence High School on Friday afternoon. Police reported that the accident happened just after 4:15 p.m., as the teen was crossing an intersection near Independence Parkway and Sumac Lane. Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to call the Frisco Police Department. (FOX 4 Dallas)
3. Four major pharmaceutical companies are paying a $26 billion settlement to state attorneys general for their alleged role in the opioid epidemic. Because Texas could potentially get $1.5 billion of this allotment, the Texas Attorney General’s Office (TAG) is trying to get as many cities and counties in the state as possible to join. City councils throughout Texas have approved resolutions authorizing the municipalities to join Texas in the settlement, including those for Plano, McKinney, Celina, Prosper, and Allen.
