Board Brief for Sept. 19, 2024
Posted in on September 20, 2024

Watch Board Brief from last night

Arlington ISD’s Board of Trustees meeting on Sept. 19, 2024, is in the books, and here are a few of the highlights.

One of the first items was a presentation the board received that gave an overview of policy updates recommended by the Texas Association of School Boards – or TASB. TASB routinely updates legal policies according to changes in the law and recommends updates to local policies as well. The board did not take any action on these at the meeting but will revisit them at another time.

Finances are always one of the main meeting topics, and trustees approved the monthly financial report on operations through July. They also approved the contractor and budget for the 2019 Bond project at Fitzgerald Elementary to renovate the school’s HVAC system.

Board Briefs often highlight the bond-related construction projects, but that’s not all the bond is doing. The board approved spending bond funds last night for new school buses and new technology as well. The new technology includes updating classroom projectors at five elementary schools.

Those are just a few of the highlights from tonight. If you would like more details on any of these, or any of the items not covered in this Board Brief, please click here to watch the entire meeting.
