The Argyle ISD Board of Trustees approved a long-range facilities plan during the Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Special Meeting, designed to strategically manage the district’s continued growth while maximizing the use of both existing and future facilities.

The plan aligns with current bond programs and focuses on long-term sustainability while maintaining the high-quality educational experience Argyle ISD families expect. This approved framework provides a blueprint for how the district will proactively address enrollment growth through thoughtful campus configurations, feeder-pattern alignment, and the efficient use of instructional space.

“As Argyle ISD continues to grow, we must balance meeting today’s needs without overbuilding for the future,” said Superintendent Dr. Courtney Carpenter. “Our long-range planning ensures we use facilities strategically, remain responsible stewards of taxpayer resources, and continue prioritizing strong programs and opportunities for students.”
