The committee was composed of representatives with various perspectives, including parents, grandparents, business leaders, students, civic leaders, educators, and AISD alumni.

 

The charge to the committee from the AISD Board of Trustees was to develop a recommendation that will:

• Consider the needs of all district students

• Represent the priorities, expectations, and values of the entire community

• Use facts and data to make informed recommendations

• Develop facility plans that support common educational goals of the district, including safety and security

• Understand the district’s finances in order to develop and recommend a bond that is fiscally responsible

 

The committee spent their time reviewing and analyzing the aspects, histories, and projections of Argyle ISD’s demographics, growth and enrollment patterns, district finances, educational programs, and thorough discussions of both the immediate and long-term needs of the district.

 

During the process, all committee members were presented with an opportunity to express their opinions, suggestions, and recommendations.

 

As a result of this process, the committee formed a recommendation for a May 2024 bond proposal that was presented to the Argyle ISD Board of Trustees.  The recommendation was slightly modified to adhere to the vision of the district's 10-year strategic growth plan and unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on Feb. 5, 2024.
