Arlington ISD Joins the Texas Trust Spirit Reward Program
Funds raised from Texas Trust Spirit Debit Reward card will go toward new outdoor performance area in Arlington ISD.
Arlington, TX, December 11, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Arlington Independent School District (AISD), the largest employer in Arlington with 8,500 employees, has signed on as a Spirit Debit Reward partner of Texas Trust Credit Union. The school district will earn 10 cents each time a cardholder uses a specially designed Arlington ISD Spirit Debit card.
Some of the money raised from the Spirit Reward card will be used to help fund a new outdoor performance area at the Jones Academy of Fine Arts and Dual Language, which the school district plans to be built within the next nine months. Money raised beyond that guaranteed commitment will go directly back to the school selected.
The Arlington ISD announced the five-year partnership agreement with Texas Trust at the One Million Brighter event, held at UTA's College Park Center. Administration personnel from the AISD attended the festivities to celebrate the one million dollar milestone of the Spirit Debit Reward program, in which five other North Texas school districts already participate.
The cards are available to any current member of Texas Trust, or new members that open a checking account with the credit union. There is no fee for the Spirit Debit Reward card and it can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted.
"Texas Trust has continuously demonstrated a sincere interest in the success of Arlington's schools and students," said Dr. Marcelo Cavazos, Superintendent of Schools for Arlington ISD. "This program offers our employees, parents and the community a tool to manage their money, while simultaneously benefiting our students. The outdoor performance area at Jones Academy will increase fine arts opportunities for students and families."
Texas Trust offers six uniquely designed cards for Arlington ISD, one for each of Arlington's traditional high schools. Current Texas Trust members can support the AISD by signing up for one of the AISD Spirit cards today.
"We are excited to have a role in funding the new outdoor performance area for Arlington ISD," said Jim Minge, President of Texas Trust Credit Union. "The Spirit card allows us to give a portion of our earnings to the Arlington school district, which is part of our mission of building brighter financial futures."
Arlington ISD is the sixth school district, and the largest, to join the Spirit Debit Reward program, since its inception in 2011. As of last month, Texas Trust has donated more than a million dollars to its current school district partners based on the number of times the Spirit cards have been used.
