Argyle ISD officials attend special legislative session Argyle ISD Superintendent Courtney Carpenter and trustees John Westrom and Leigh Ann Artho represented the district Oct. 9 during a special legislative session. The three AISD representatives publicly testified in front of the Senate Finance Com- mittee, with Carpenter calling this a “critical step” in potentially getting Senate Bill 2, which would provide a minimum increase of $75 to the amount of per-student funding that is provided to districts, passed. Zooming in District officials are expecting significant fund- ing challenges of $3.5 million per year beginning in 2024. A release from the district states a special session is the only way for Argyle ISD and other districts in the state to find a long-term solution for their funding issues.
Lewisville ISD talks construction, health The Oct. 2 Lewisville ISD board of trustees meeting included construction and student wellness updates. What you need to know The LISD School Health Advisory Council committee announced the following items: • A proposed subcommittee for monitoring students’ physical activity at elementary schools • A Fentanyl Awareness week to educate students in grades 6-12 about the dangers of the drug • Continued collaboration with Aramark Student Nutrition to sample food • Lewisville High School’s new enclosed sound booth in the auditorium for increased security
Community petition info District officials announced the Take Action Argyle petition, through which community members can submit school-related funding concerns that will ultimately be sent to Gov. Greg Abbot’s office.
Listed concerns include:
Argyle ISD is one of a few districts in the state that has received the Formula Transition Grant—a grant that ensures all Texas school districts receive at least a 3% increase in per-student funding— since 2019 and faces a significant funding cliff beginning with the 2024-25 fiscal year. The Legislature capped the grant at $400 million, which is $231 million short of the true cost of the grant, according to www.txsc.org. Argyle ISD is still subject to losing approximately $250,000 via the Robin Hood formula of “recapture.”
There has been no change to the basic allotment despite 40-year record inflation.
