Summary

Senate Resolution 665 recognizes Leadership Prep School for receiving the 2015 Best of Frisco Award in the category of elementary and secondary schools. This award is presented by the Frisco Award Program, which celebrates local businesses and organizations that significantly contribute to the community. The resolution highlights the school's accomplishments and its positive impact on students and the wider community.

Contention

While the resolution is largely celebratory, it could bring forth discussions on educational competition among schools in the region, particularly within the charter school system.

Nonetheless, the resolution aims to highlight effective educational practices rather than create contention.
