Important Statement from Angleton ISD - Wednesday, September 11, 2024
As many of you know, there was a school shooting in Georgia last week and another one yesterday in Nebraska. First of all, our hearts go out to the family and friends of all the victims in Georgia and Nebraska.
Any time there is a shooting, no matter the location, school districts across the nation experience a rise in reports of comments about potentially threatening behavior. This has been happening throughout Texas, and Angleton ISD has received calls and reports from parents and students who are concerned about a potential threat or about a comment they have heard from someone else. We have thoroughly investigated each report we have received concerning inappropriate comments and rumors that were threatening in nature, and these comments and rumors were found not to be credible. Students made poor choices when commenting.
Our main priority is the safety of our students and staff, and our administration takes any potentially threatening situation seriously and investigates them all thoroughly. AISD will follow the Student Code of Conduct to determine appropriate consequences for students who make threats or threatening comments, and law enforcement will be involved to determine any legal consequences.
Often, we have students who make poor choices when making comments that are of a threatening nature. These comments and the rumors that follow can cause unnecessary panic and can disrupt the school environment. We ask parents to talk with their children about the seriousness of making threatening comments of any kind and spreading rumors. There are serious consequences for making threatening comments in person or online.
We encourage students and parents to report any concerns immediately through one of the district’s reporting resources:
-- Contact or tell a campus administrator.
-- Contact or tell the AISD Police (979-997-7220).
-- Use the Anonymous Alerts system through the app or by clicking https://report.anonymousalerts.com/angletonisd/ or by visiting the AISD website and going to Keep AISD Safe (See it, Report it).
-- Call Crime Stoppers at 800-460-2222.
We also ask students and parents to use these appropriate methods to communicate threats or issues. Communicating threats through social media creates more issues and concerns for our students, parents and staff.
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s campus principal.
The AJH School Market is looking for volunteers to help give back to the community. They are hoping to get 20-25 volunteers at each market. Volunteers help by helping give out food, placing food bags or boxes in vehicles, keeping the market area clean, entering intakes, and to supervise.
There is volunteer training today, September 10th, at Angleton Junior High, in room C412. The first session is from 3:10pm-3:50pm. The other session is from 3:55pm-4:45pm.
The School Market is a program through the Houston Foodbank that allows school districts to partner with them to help try to fill the gap of hunger with middle and high school kids. Anyone can use the school market starting with middle school kids to adults.
Join us at the Angleton ISD & UTMB Annual Community Health & Wellness Fair on September 28 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Angleton High School CTE Center.

REMINDER - The 2025-2026 Rezoning Survey closes on Friday, August 30. You can visit www.angletonisd.net and click on the “Rezoning Info” link to review the maps of the potential new attendance zones for the 2025-2026 school year and to complete a brief survey/form for Angleton ISD to collect input and allow our community to ask questions about the changes starting in the Fall of 2025 when we open two additional schools – Heartland Elementary and Heritage Junior High. (AISD has been developing new attendance zones as well as a new transfer policy for the 2025-2026 school year)
On Tuesday, the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees approved the adoption of the 2024-2025 tax rate, which was presented in a public hearing prior to the regular board meeting. The tax rate did not increase; it remained the same this year.
“It’s important to note that AISD is the entity that sets the tax rate, but the amount a homeowner pays in taxes is based on the tax rate as well as the value placed on the home,” AISD Superintendent Phil Edwards said. “The value placed on the home is placed by the appraisal district, and the appraisal district has to follow the values assigned by the Texas Comptroller’s State Property Value Study.”
The board also approved the adoption of the 2024-2025 budget and compensation plan, which was presented as a $3.3 million deficit budget. The budget does still include a three percent pay raise for employees as well as a mid-year bonus and a retention bonus. The budget also included cuts to both department and school budgets in addition to cuts in positions through attrition, which is when an employee leaves the district and is not replaced.
“The non-action by the Texas Legislature in not addressing public school funding as well as the ending of the Formula Transition Grant has deeply affected this year’s budget,” Edwards said.
Edwards says that the removal of the Formula Transition Grant has reduced AISD’s revenue per student by more than $1,000 over a two-year period.
“When you multiply 7,300 students by $1,000, it is a $7.3 million lack of funding by the state for our district,” he said. “We are fortunate that the budget will be covered by AISD’s fund balance, which is the district’s savings account and is in a healthy position to cover the current lack of funding.”

Driving School Zones and Speed Limits Issue - Sunday, August 18, 2024
What was reported in Saturday’s edition of The Facts about the times for school zone speed limits for secondary schools is incorrect. The school zones are not in effect from 6:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as the paper said. The school zone speed limits for all Angleton ISD secondary schools, which include Angleton High School, Angleton Junior High and CATS/PACE Academy, are in effect from 6:00-7:30 a.m. and from 2:30-3:45 p.m. The school zone signs that are in place reflect the correct times.
Thanks to the Junior Service League of Brazosport for "Stuffing the Bus" this past Saturday! The JSL hosted its annual Stuff the Bus at the Angleton Kroger to collect donated items for our school nurses' clinics. AISD also had some folks on hand to help. #BecauseWereWildcats
