Monday night, Argyle ISD held its monthly regular board meeting. The AISD School Board met at 5 p.m. for an executive session prior to the open meeting. We are providing you with School Board Briefs and hope this valuable information on agenda and action items helps you to be a well-informed Argyle ISD community member.

Our Board of Trustees conducted the open portion of the regularly scheduled monthly board meeting at 6 p.m. President Sam Slaton established a quorum and students from Hilltop Elementary led us in our Pledges to the Flags. Trustee Craig Hawkesworth conducted the Opening Prayer.

During recognitions, our Board of Trustees and Administration recognized our amazing campus principals for National Principals Month. This recognition honors the dedication and hard work of our Argyle ISD school principals and shows appreciation for their contributions to the success of our students, schools, and the community. The Board of Trustees also recognized our Human Resources Department, as Governor Greg Abbott proclaimed October 9, 2024, as Texas Education Human Resources Day. This recognition is to honor the important contributions made by school staff who work in human resources.
