November's board meeting celebrated excellence across the district, recognizing outstanding achievements from students, staff, and new members joining the Angleton ISD family.
In an open meeting, AISD Director of Finance Connie Cox delivered the annual FIRST rating report. FIRST, which stands for Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas, was implemented by the Texas Education Agency during the 2002-2003 school year. For the twelfth year in a row, AISD received a perfect score of 100 and has received superior ratings every year since the system was implemented.
“This is the 2023-2024 FIRST rating, and each rating is based on the previous school year’s financial data,” Cox said. “We are very proud to score a perfect score once again, and we hope it shows how important it is for us to be good financial stewards of the AISD community. It’s a testament to the board’s decisions as well as the superintendent’s decisions when leading the school district’s finances.”

Northside Elementary recently hosted Brenda George and her S.T.O.P. (Stop-Talk-Overcome-Pain) team. The presentation for these 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders was about kindness to one another and to promote anti-bullying.
At the October meeting, the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees recognized several students for academic success, including top-ranking Angleton High School seniors Cayden Dorsett and Quade Weber for being named as Commended Students in the 2025 National Merit Scholarship Program. They also recognized 15 more high school students for receiving academic honors from the national College Board Recognition Program.
Additionally, the board recognized Central Elementary teacher Norma Tanner-Tinnin for being selected as the 2024 AISD Latin Festival Hispanic Hero Teacher by the Brazoria County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce as well as Northside Elementary for recently earning the distinction of Model PLC School from Solution Tree.
After the recognitions, the board approved key action items for Heartland Elementary School and Heritage Junior High School, set to open fall of 2025. This included the purchase and installation of IP phone equipment and network equipment from MGT Impact Solutions, LLC for a total amount of $118,464.52.
“This approval ensures that the new campuses will be fully equipped with the necessary technology infrastructure to support both student learning and administrative functions,” AISD Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Roberto Muñoz said.
The board also approved updated District and Campus Improvement Plans, which outline specific goals and strategies to enhance student achievement and school performance in the upcoming academic year.
“While these plans are federally mandated each year, we look at this as a great opportunity for campuses and the district to review our practices and look for ways to improve,” AISD Assistant Superintendent of Leadership and Talent Development Dr. Alicia Press said.
