Angleton ISD Introduces New Weapons Detection Systems - Angleton ISD continues to make safety and security a top priority throughout the district and will begin using weapons detection systems at various large-scale events and in schools. At the July board meeting, the AISD Board of Trustees approved the purchase of 12 CEIA OPENGATE Detection Systems.

The security detection devices will be used at high-attendance events, such as football games, fine arts contests and graduation, as well as being piloted on campuses.

“We continue to look for ways to enhance preparedness and maintain safe and secure environments for our students, staff and community, and we believe these systems will enhance our safety measures while also allowing us to maintain efficient school and event operations,” AISD Superintendent Phil Edwards said. “We want our community–students, staff, parents and visitors–to know that we continue to prioritize safety in our schools and school environments.”

At its regular June meeting, the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees approved key measures that support the district’s strategic goals of academic excellence, employee retention, and safety. In a significant move to recognize and retain staff, the Board approved a Compensation Plan Addendum for the 2025–2026 school year that includes a salary increase that exceeds the requirements of new state legislation. Teaching staff with 1-2 years of experience will receive a 4 percent pay increase; teachers with 3-4 years of experience will receive a $3,000 pay raise; and teachers with more than 5 years of experience will receive a $5,500 pay raise. All employees on the auxiliary, paraprofessional or professional pay grade will receive a minimum of a 4 percent pay raise. Market adjustments were given for several positions in the district as well. In addition, trustees approved the return of the $1,000 retention bonus for all eligible employees that will be paid on September 15, 2025. The combined salary and bonus package totals $4.6 million in compensation increases. The compensation plan includes the district’s addition of 54 campus-based positions, two district-level special education positions, and three central administrative roles.

Important Message from AISD - The 89th Texas legislature has passed, and Governor Abbott has signed into law HB 1481, which bans students from using cell phones in Texas public schools. While we await further guidance on this new law from the Texas Education Agency, Angleton ISD is also currently working on a plan to implement this new law effectively. Once we have complete information on how AISD will comply and enforce these new requirements, we will communicate these to our students, staff, parents and community.

2025 Varsity Football Season Ticket Information! Friday, June 27th: GoFan will send out renewals to current season ticket holders. Sunday, July 20th: Deadline for current season ticket holders to claim tickets. Monday, July 21st: Unclaimed tickets are available to the public. Call 979-864-8067 for more info.

Important Message from AISD Athletics - Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, fans will have to use the online ticketing system GoFan to purchase tickets to all Angleton ISD athletic events, except for Varsity Football games at Wildcat Stadium. Cash will no longer be taken at the gates for tickets to sporting events other than Varsity Football. The district has made this move in order to manage and staff their sporting events properly, especially with the increase in events as Heritage Junior High opens. Because of the size of the crowds who attend Varsity Football games, the district believes it is best practice to continue to take cash at the gate but highly recommends purchasing tickets through GoFan. Individuals can purchase tickets prior to a sporting event, and there will be signs at the event venues that link individuals to the GoFan site where tickets can be purchased. Please email crubio@angletonisd.net with any questions.

Angleton ISD offices and schools will be closed on Thursday, June 19th and will reopen on Monday, June 23rd.

At a special meeting last night, the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees approved the hire of Dr. Terri Benson as the new head principal of Angleton High School. “Dr. Benson has a strong instructional background and brings with her 22 years of experience as an educator and administrator,” AISD Superintendent Phil Edwards said. “We are excited to have her join the A-Team and know she will do a phenomenal job leading our high school.” One of Dr. Benson’s strengths lies in her belief that collaboration is significant in the decision-making process. “I believe that every stakeholder deserves a voice in decision-making; it is the thing I value most as a leader,” Benson said. “My personal goal is to provide leadership to achieve academic success for all students by supporting and implementing the priorities of the Angleton ISD community and by fostering a collaborative environment to produce successful and responsible students while maintaining the strong traditions Angleton is known for.” Benson comes from Conroe ISD, where she has served a total of 15 years in administrative roles for the district, with her latest as head principal of Caney Creek High School for the past two years. Prior to that, Benson was the Headmaster of the Academy for Science and Health Professions in CISD for three years and served as an associate principal in CISD for six years and assistant principal for another four years. She is also an active member of the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals, where she currently serves as the Vice Chair of the Legislative Committee and former Chair.

AISD was awarded the 'Best of the Bunch' award for their work during TDA's Farm Fresh Challenge.
