The Bond Advisory Committee met for its last meeting on Tuesday, June 25 to review the bond proposal that will be presented to the AISD Board of Trustees on July 16 for the board's review and consideration. At the board meeting, trustees will make a decision whether or not to call for a bond referendum, either declining the committee’s plan or accepting the plan as is or with changes.

The Bond Advisory Committee is proposing calling for a bond referendum in the amount of $90 million that will include the following:  new CTE Center ($55 million), new transportation center ($16 million), energy upgrades ($8 million), high school classroom renovations ($5 million), softball field renovations ($3 million), and Central Elementary stage addition ($1.5 million).

Currently, AISD can raise the recommended $90 million in bonded debt without increasing a household’s property tax rate. This is due to industry growth within AISD boundaries (Chocolate Bayou area). The growth in industry will allow the district to raise money through this bond proposal without raising homeowners’ property taxes.

Please see the FAQs for more information about the bond proposal.

Angleton ISD administration has been working with a community Bond Advisory Committee on possible improvements and additions to the district. The district is proposing a possible bond referendum in the amount of $90 million that will include the following:  new CTE Center ($55 million), new transportation center ($16 million), energy upgrades ($8 million), high school classroom renovations ($5 million), softball field renovations ($3 million), and Central Elementary stage addition ($1.5 million).

The Bond Advisory Committee, which is made up of members from the community, is in the process of reviewing the recommendations and will decide the ultimate plan that will be proposed to the AISD Board of Trustees. The school board will then review the proposal and make a decision whether or not to call for a bond referendum, either declining the committee’s plan or accepting the plan as is or with changes.

AISD can raise the recommended $90 million in bond money without increasing the tax rate due to industry growth in the Chocolate Bayou area.

AISD is exploring the possibility of calling for a bond election in the fall of 2019 to address capital needs related to classroom renovations, facility construction, and energy updates.

The development of the 2019 Bond Referendum Project follows an extensive process that began with the formation of a Long Range Facilities Planning Committee in September of 2017. This committee, made up of community members, business partners, parents, teachers, students, and administrators, participated in meetings and site tours to see firsthand the district's facility needs and to study other districts' facilities and operations. In addition to reviewing facility assessment data, this committee reviewed historical growth and projections, economic indicators, career and technical programming opportunities, early childhood growth plans, and cost estimates and financial analysis.

In April 2019, the district created the Bond Advisory Committee to analyze the work of the Long Range Facilities Planning Committee and to advise the district on the next steps toward possibly calling a Bond Referendum.
