Join Us: Learn About the School Funding Referendum at Upcoming Community Events

Argyle ISD invites community members to a series of informative presentations led by Superintendent Dr. Courtney Carpenter and CFO Liz Stewart. These sessions will focus on the upcoming November 5, 2024 School Funding Referendum (VATRE), which addresses crucial issues like growing class sizes, teacher and staff pay raises, and the overall impact on the district’s future. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, share thoughts, and gain a clearer understanding of how the referendum could help retain $2.5 million for budget priorities.

We encourage all community members to attend a presentation to stay informed and involved in the future of Argyle ISD.
