The Bearcat Growth Committee is a group of 38 Aledo ISD community members, parents and teachers from each campus that was appointed by the Aledo ISD Board of Trustees in December of 2018. The BGC was constructed from a combination of appointments by the Aledo ISD Board of Trustees, nominations from campus administrators and applications submitted by interested community members. The purpose of the BGC was to represent the Aledo ISD community in the study of data related to enrollment, finances, instructional priorities and facility needs, and in recommending to the Board of Trustees a bond program to address district-wide facility needs due to growing student enrollment and aging facilities.
