Argyle ISD Superintendent Courtney Carpenter, who is in her first year at the district, will stay on through 2029 after receiving a new contract extension.
The Argyle ISD Board of Trustees approved the contract extension for Carpenter during Wednesday night's board meeting. The extended contract begins July 1.
"Dr. Carpenter is a highly sought-after Superintendent who is making a tremendous impact with her visionary leadership, strategic planning, community engagement and communication," School Board President Sam Slaton wrote in a statement. "She has been fully committed to this district and it was important to this Board to make a commitment to secure her as the leader of this district."
Carpenter previously served as the Carroll ISD deputy superintendent for two years before landing in Argyle ISD in July 2023.
Prior to the extension, Carpenter's contract was set to end in 2026 with an annual salary of $235,000.
KERA News reached out to Argyle ISD about Carpenter's annual salary under the extended contract and will update when the information is available.
