AISD trustees approved calling an election for a $423 million bond aimed at funding new facilities construction, campus upgrades and technology on Feb. 12.
The details
The in-person presentations will inform parents and residents about the bond’s two propositions and offer an opportunity to ask questions and field a community dialogue, according to a district news release. The meetings are expected to begin at 6 p.m. and the presentation will last around 20 minutes.
Meetings will be held at the following dates and locations:
- April 9 at the Argyle ISD Administration Building
- April 14 at the Sixth Grade Center gym
- April 15 at the Jane Ruestmann Elementary library
The bond will be put before voters in two propositions, which will address campus improvements and building new schools to accommodate growth, and another for athletic facility construction. The ballot items include:
- Proposition A: Over $393.7 million for bus purchases, technology updates, constructing a sixth elementary school and new middle school as well as design for a third middle school. It also outlines funds for land acquisition, campus upgrades and circulation improvements.
- Proposition B: More than $29.4 million for building a baseball and softball complex at Argyle High School located off Canyon Falls Drive.
Looking ahead
Voters will consider both propositions at the May 3 election and early voting will take place April 22-29.
