Azle ISD Parents and Guardians-
I am certain you are thankful for the pleasant spring weather. It is definitely a busy time of year and it is promising to see things slowly return to normal after the events of the last year.
The Azle ISD community is experiencing growth at a pace unlike we have seen in previous years. Highlights of our recent demographer report show:
- Enrollment will increase by 2,000 plus students over the next 10 years.
- 1,600 plus future lots within Azle ISD attendance boundaries.
- Expected to close 250-300 new homes annually for the next 3-5 years.
As a parent or guardian of an Azle ISD student, I want to be sure you are aware our Board of Trustees has called a May 1 Bond Election. The project recommendations resulted from the hard work of our almost 40 community member Long Range Facility Planning Committee; a group of Azle ISD taxpayers representing you.
The May 1 ballot will include three propositions. Each proposition is a separate proposition, allowing voters the opportunity to vote on each one individually. All three propositions focus on current needs, growth, and educational equity for all students in Azle ISD.
- Proposition A – Elementary Level Focused
- Proposition B – Azle High School
- Proposition C – Hornet Stadium Renovation
Additional information; including the committee process, projected student enrollment numbers, an overview of all the projects included in each proposition, and estimated tax rate impact can be found at http://azleisdbond2021.com/. Early voting runs April 19-27 and Election Day is Saturday, May 1.
I thank each of you for entrusting your children in Azle ISD. A reminder our “We Are Azle” initiative represents ALL stakeholders in Azle ISD working together for our students and our Azle ISD community.
Todd Smith
Superintendent – Azle ISD
