Way to go, MAJ Small! #AchievingExcellence #BecauseWereWildcats
Letter from Angleton ISD Superintendent Phil Edwards - We asked our community to give us guidance on how the district should move forward on replacing or maintaining our facilities. Our community chose not to replace Southside, Northside, and Angleton Junior High and instead guided us to use available funds to maintain these schools. One of the many incredible strengths of our community is the support our school district receives from our Wildcat community. We respect and honor that support, and I fully respect the outcome and decisions of our community in this matter and am grateful for the choice that was made. We must all remember that “We Are All Wildcats” and that we must continue to be united in uplifting the students of our school district and continuing to provide the excellence in education that will serve our Angleton community for many years.

AISD is committed to providing the community with the facts so voters can make an informed decision about the bond referendum.
- Replacing the three campuses now would cost $150M.
- Repairing the three campuses would cost an estimated $142.3M based on the facility study completed in 2024.
Repair costs may continue to rise as additional repairs are needed and could rise to an estimated $179M in just 5 years.

BOND 2025
AISD’s bond proposes to replace Northside Elementary, Southside Elementary, and Angleton Junior High with facilities ready to accommodate growth.
The possible locations for these new schools are on the current properties where they stand today—no new land purchases required. This ensures students stay in their zoned campus while the district makes use of existing resources.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 4 and polls are open from 7 am - 7 pm. If you are registered to vote and live within AISD boundaries, you can vote—even if you don’t live in the City of Angleton.

All 35 students and the staff on board were safely evacuated, and all parents of the students on the bus were called. Students were transferred to another bus to be taken to their schools.
Bond 2025 - In August, the AISD Board of Trustees called for a $150 million bond that voters will consider this November. The proposal focuses on replacing three aging schools which would cost more to repair:
🏫 Northside Elementary - 73 years old
🏫 Southside Elementary - 70 years old
🏫 Angleton Junior High - 45 years old
AISD has reduced the tax rate by 42¢ since 2018 including the most recent reduction by 1¢ in 2025. If the bond referendum is approved, the tax rate is expected to remain the same through 2031. Future new home growth and legislation may lower the rate further. Property values are frozen for taxpayers 65 and older.
Remember, if you are registered to vote and live within AISD boundaries, you can vote—even if you don’t live in the City of Angleton.
Early Voting: now through Friday, October 31
Election Day: November 4

BOND 2025 - If the bond is approved, the tax rate is projected to remain the same as the current rate of $1.0219 through 2031 and begin lowering in 2032—or sooner as new neighborhoods are built within the district. The chart below shows the maximum tax rate expected.
If approved, with the 1¢ tax reduction set by AISD in August and the increase in the homestead exemption of $140,000, voters will experience an estimated tax savings of about $400 depending on the value of the homestead.
Without the bond, the tax rate is expected to decrease by 4¢ in 2027 resulting in an additional tax savings of about $80 for the year (depending on homestead value).
AISD remains committed to sharing accurate information so the community can make informed decisions. The district is asking voters to consider foregoing the additional tax savings in order to replace Angleton Junior High, Northside Elementary and Southside Elementary.
Remember, if you are registered to vote and live within AISD boundaries, you can vote—even if you don’t live in the City of Angleton.

Congratulations to Westside Elementary Dual Language teacher Mrs. Enedelia Olvera, who was named the Hispanic Hero Educator by the Brazoria County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce!
Each year, the Brazoria County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce selects teacher representatives from throughout the county as Brazoria County Hispanic Hero Educators. This award honors educators who demonstrate exceptional leadership, professional excellence, community involvement, and a deep commitment to their students. Ms. Olvera was chosen by her AISD peers—an incredible testament to the impact she has made in her classroom and beyond.
She was recognized last month at the Chamber’s Brazoria County Latin Festival and again at this month’s AISD Board Meeting, where representatives from the Chamber joined us in celebrating her achievement.
Thank you, Ms. Olvera, for your dedication to your students, our community, and the teaching profession. This honor is so well-deserved!
