Argyle ISD School Board Briefs

Last night, Argyle ISD held its monthly regular board meeting. The AISD School Board met at 5:00 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 6:00 p.m. President Sam Slaton established a quorum. We began our meeting with a group of special guests from Argyle West Elementary as they led us in our Pledges to the Flags and Moment of Silence. We loved having our Eagles join us!

Following the call to order, we had a special recognition for our inaugural graduating class of Eagle Ambassadors. We had 36 community members attend the required sessions over the course of this year. We are so proud to have this class of Eagle Ambassadors and look forward to a new class next year!
