Argyle ISD has hired two new directors to lead the transportation and student nutrition departments.

Tyler Sullivan was approved as the new Student Nutrition Director on Monday, March 24 by the Board of Trustees. Brady Bell was approved as the new Transportation Director on March 3.

“We are very excited to add these two experienced leaders to oversee and guide these important operations departments that serve our Eagles,” Argyle ISD Superintendent Dr. Courtney Carpenter said. “Both are familiar with our district’s expectations, excellence and culture. We are confident that their leadership ability and commitment to providing outstanding services will continue to benefit our students and families.”

Sullivan was elevated from Assistant Director of Student Nutrition, a role she has held in Argyle ISD since 2021. She transitions to the new role with the experience of overseeing the operations at all seven AISD campus cafeterias. Sullivan, who will begin her new role immediately, has helped with the hiring, training, and coaching of the 50-person student nutrition staff.

Sullivan has more than 10 years of managing experience in the food industry and also worked in student nutrition as Director of Operations at Lewisville ISD/Aramark and was Lead Operations Specialist at Dallas ISD.

Sullivan replaces Amy Bresnahan, who left the district for another position after serving as student nutrition director in AISD since 2018.

Meanwhile, Bell takes over the transportation department as an experienced administrator who has served as an Assistant Principal at Argyle West Elementary since the campus opened in 2019. He was previously the AP at the former Argyle Intermediate School. Bell has worked in the district since 2008 and has been instrumental in building the foundations of success in AISD. He led the Eagles to three boys’ golf state championships and was an assistant girls’ basketball coach on three state title teams.

Since joining West’s administration he has played an integral role in planning, staffing, and operations at the campus level. Bell will fully transition into his new role following the 2024-2025 school year. Bell replaces Albert Rutledge, who retired after serving 17 years in AISD.
