At the August meeting, the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees recognized student excellence and took action on key financial items.

First, the Board recognized two students, Keegan Martin and Clayton Payne, for their participation and achievement in the Great History Challenge. Keegan and Clayton competed at Nationals in the Great History Challenge and advanced to playoffs, where they tied for 19th place in the overall competition out of the more than 100,000 students who took part in the challenge this past year.

After an open hearing prior to the board meeting for the proposed 2026-2027 tax rate, trustees approved the upcoming year’s tax rate in the regular meeting. The district was able to reduce the tax rate to $0.9969, which is a reduction from the 2025-2026 rate that was set at $1.0219.

“This is the first time in decades that the tax rate is under one dollar,” Superintendent Dr. Alicia Press said. “We decreased the tax rate by 2.45 percent. That is a drop for our taxpayers, and the district has continued to decrease the tax rate for several years.”

AISD Tax Rate Decrease - Angleton ISD is excited to announce that it has lowered the tax rate to under a dollar. At the August meeting, the AISD Board of Trustees approved the 2026-2027 tax rate as $0.9969, and this is the first time in decades that the district has had the tax rate set under the dollar mark.

The district has steadily decreased the tax rate since 2018, lowering it another 2.5 cents for the 2026-2027 year from $1.0219 last year. The tax rate has decreased by an overall 45.83 cents since the 2018-2019 year.

"In Angleton ISD, we take our role as financial stewards very seriously," AISD Superintendent Dr. Alicia Press said. "While rising property values can impact overall tax bills, our Board and leadership team are proud that we have been able to lower the district's tax rate again this year. "

The board meeting was both productive and informative, yesterday. We held a public hearing on the proposed 2026–2027 tax rate and approved the district’s budget and compensation plan, along with a tax rate of $0.9969 per $100 valuation. This brings Angleton ISD’s tax rate below $1 for the first time in approximately 28 years, which is especially exciting news for our Angleton taxpayers. 🥳

We also approved the end-of-year budget amendment, the federal micro-purchasing limit, continued participation in the TASB unemployment compensation program, Board member campus assignments, new library books, and the purchase of IXL.
Another exciting item was the approval of $95,000 in donations and grant funding for a major renovation of the Angleton Junior High School Market, which is anticipated to be completed by end of this semester. We also received updates on bond projects, academics, district goals, staffing, and employee retention.🚨 During the discussion on retention, I asked questions specifically regarding Angleton High School and some of the numbers presented, and the administration will be getting back to the Board with additional information.

At the end of the day, we have to continue asking what we can do to retain our great teachers and paraprofessionals. If we are seeing employees leave at a high rate, we need to understand why and determine what we can do differently to keep the dedicated people who serve our students every day. Overall, it was a productive meeting with a lot of important information—and an especially exciting night for Angleton taxpayers as our district tax rate drops below $1 for the first time in nearly three decades! 💜
