School Funding Referendum November 5
The Argyle ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved calling a School Funding Referendum for November 5 during the Monday, Aug. 19 regular Board meeting.
If approved, the AISD’s School Funding Referendum would generate approximately $2.5 million to address budget priorities including teacher and staff pay raises, providing campus support positions, and addressing increasing class sizes for the future. This referendum includes a 7.7-cent tax increase to the Maintenance & Operations (M&O) tax rate.
The M&O rate funds school district operations, instruction, staff, transportation, maintenance, and daily operating expenses. In contrast, the Interest & Sinking (I&S) fund, representing the other part of the district’s annual budget, is financed through bonds. Bond funds from the I&S budget cannot be used for operational costs such as teacher raises, rising utilities, increasing insurance costs, or other day-to-day expenses.
CLICK HERE to read more about the funding referendum.
Hello AWE Community,
We need your help! Please take a few minutes to fill out our School Counselor Needs Assessment. Your feedback is super important and helps to make sure our school counselors are meeting the needs of our students and families. Thank you for your time and support. If you have any questions, please contact our school counselor at amelia.torres@argyleisd.com
Parenting Connections
Making positive connections with your child after school can be as simple as sharing a snack, chatting about their day, or spending a few minutes on a fun activity together. These small interactions show your child you’re interested in their world, strengthen your bond, and create a sense of security and belonging. Whether your kiddo needs to talk or just unwind, your presence makes all the difference. Consider using the graphic below for conversation starters with your child after school.
