The Argyle ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved calling a School Funding Referendum for November 5 during the Monday, Aug. 19 regular Board meeting.
If approved, the AISD’s School Funding Referendum would generate approximately $2.5 million to address budget priorities including teacher and staff pay raises, providing campus support positions, and addressing increasing class sizes for the future. This referendum includes a 7.7-cent tax increase to the Maintenance & Operations (M&O) tax rate.
The M&O rate funds school district operations, instruction, staff, transportation, maintenance, and daily operating expenses. In contrast, the Interest & Sinking (I&S) fund, representing the other part of the district’s annual budget, is financed through bonds. Bond funds from the I&S budget cannot be used for operational costs such as teacher raises, rising utilities, increasing insurance costs, or other day-to-day expenses.
