At the December meeting, the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees addressed several key district initiatives and celebrated the achievements of students and staff. The board approved the final attendance zones that will go into effect in the 2025-2026 school year to accommodate growth and balance enrollment across campuses, including the addition of the two new schools opening in 2025. Maps and important information have been updated on the AISD website at www.angletonisd.net/Rezoning. AISD Superintendent Phil Edwards says the rezoning process has been extensive, and the district has worked hard to provide a rezoning plan to meet the needs of all AISD students. “We started this process several months back and built in points to collect input from our community, including parents, staff and students,” he said. “We also understand the importance of getting the information out to parents as quickly as possible so they have time to prepare for any changes next year.” Edwards says the district has built a communications plan that will make sure they communicate the rezoning decisions with parents in multiple communication platforms to make sure parents know the changes and how they affect their children. “After we return from the holiday break, we will send letters home to parents of every child in the district, making sure they understand where they will be zoned next year, and these letters will be sent through mail, email and other means,” he said. “The letters will be specific to each child and will give parents information on how to ask questions, get clarification, and request a transfer if desired.” Please visit www.angletonisd.net/bytheboard to read the full blog for additional information including financial updates.

Rezoning Update as of December 2024 - Last night, the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees approved the final new attendance zones that will go into effect at the start of the 2025-2026 school year.

This Sunday, Angleton ISD Superintendent Phil Edwards helped the Brazosport Symphony Orchestra (BSO) and the Brazosport Symphony League spread some extra holiday cheer at their annual holiday concert — A Very Broadway Christmas. Mr. Edwards competed against other local celebs to help raise money for the BSO. The winner was the guest conductor for the BSO’s rendition of “Sleigh Ride” by Leroy Anderson. While Mr. Edwards didn’t win the contest to be the conductor, he won our hearts with his sleigh bells performance. A special shout-out goes to Westside Elementary’s very own librarian Dr. Jennifer Bozone. Dr. Bozone plays the cello in the BSO. She did a superb job!!! Also, congratulations to winner Kristi Traylor Johnson from Brazosport High School for winning the special guest conductor spot and to Brazosport ISD Assistant Superintendent Ron Redden who was another valiant contender. #BecauseWereWildcats 🎵
