Seguin ISD's Board of Trustees made significant strides in policy updates and security enhancements during their regular meeting on July 22, 2025. The board unanimously approved a first reading of legal policy updates recommended by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), which included seven local policy changes primarily driven by recent statutory changes. Notably, the board agreed to remove a provision that allowed board members to assign clerical assistance, clarifying that such assignments fall under the superintendent's purview.

In addition to policy updates, the board addressed the extracurricular activity listing for the 2025-2026 school year. A minor adjustment was made to explicitly include band and marching band in the listing, ensuring clarity for students and parents. This update was also approved unanimously.

The board also took a proactive step in enhancing campus safety by approving an agreement with Strategic Training and Consulting LLC for security services for the upcoming school year. This agreement will provide a security officer at every campus, with three officers stationed at the high school. The total projected budget for security services is approximately $400,000, reflecting a commitment to maintaining a safe educational environment.

Furthermore, the board approved several personnel actions, including the hiring of an educational diagnostician, an assistant principal, a district testing coordinator, and an essential academic specialist, all receiving unanimous support from the trustees.

These decisions underscore Seguin ISD's commitment to legal compliance, student safety, and educational excellence, setting a positive trajectory for the upcoming school year. The board's actions reflect a responsive approach to community needs and legislative requirements, ensuring that the district remains a safe and supportive environment for all students.
