The Argyle ISD Bond & Growth Planning Committee presented its bond recommendation to the Board of Trustees during a special meeting on Thursday, proposing a bond election for May 2025.
The committee, which reconvened in December 2024 with 30 members from its 2023 formation, revisited the district’s growth strategy after the unsuccessful Propositions A & B bond vote in May 2024. They studied the latest demographic enrollment reports, facility audits, capacity assessments, and financial advice.
Argyle ISD anticipates an average enrollment increase of 8.4% over the next five years, with student numbers expected to surpass 11,000 by 2033.
The proposed bond package, reduced from last year’s proposal, totals $423,170,000 and includes:
- Elementary School #6
- Middle School #2
- Middle School #3 planning and design
- Baseball & Softball Facilities at the AHS Canyon Falls campus
- Capital improvements to existing campuses (this does not include any increase to current campus capacities)
- Land acquisition, including allocations for future elementary school, middle school, high school, transportation parking, and offsite costs associated with potential land purchases
- Buses
- Technology infrastructure (this does not include student 1:1 devices)
The Board of Trustees is set to consider this recommendation at another special meeting on Feb. 12 at 4 p.m., where they will consider calling a May 2025 Bond Election.
