The community-led Bond & Growth Planning Committee met six times from October 2023 to January 2024 to develop a bond proposal for Argyle ISD. The committee evaluated the latest reports on student enrollment growth, finances, bond capacity, facility capacities, and toured AISD campuses.

The committee consisted of parents, students, staff, and community members. Notably, for the first time in Argyle ISD history, high school students were included on the bond committee.The feedback from students was very valuable and addressed capacity at AHS and congestion in common areas of the campus.

All of the presentations from the committee meetings are available on the BGPC website. CLICK HERE to view the documents presented.

Reminder, due to law enacted during the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019, the proposition language on the ballot will include: "this is a property tax increase."

The ballot language is required regardless of the bond's impact on the tax rate. The 2024 bond package will use the existing tax rate to fund the projects.
